Initial Assessment

​

I offer a free initial assessment. Firstly, this is an opportunity for you to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve; I also welcome any questions you may have about how we could work together. It also gives me the opportunity to assess how I can best support you within counselling, which I will be happy to discuss with you. However, if I feel there is an organisation or another practitioner, that would be more appropriate to meet your issues and concerns, I will say so. For me, ethical practice is of utmost importance, and it is essential you get the most appropriate support.

​

This session can last up to 50 minutes for you to take your time and not feel rushed. It can take place over the phone or online, whichever you prefer. If you wish to continue seeing me, I will discuss what happens next and how we will proceed.

​

Counselling Sessions

​

Each session will last for 50 minutes.  This will be on the same day and time each week. You will never be limited to a number of sessions. We will work together, review how you feel regularly and discuss what you feel is appropriate for you. I am currently seeing clients online, but hope to recommence face to face sessions in the Summer, should you prefer it.

​

Fees and concessions.

​

My philosophy is that counselling with a qualified therapist should be available to anyone who needs help and support. It should not just be for those that can afford it. Concessions are discussed with sensitivity and care and, I have listed those that are applicable, along with my standard fee.

​

Standard fee - £40

Those in receipt of a pension - £30

Those in receipt of Universal Credits - £25

Student counsellors in training - £25

​

Payments are required before each session via online banking. I can accept cash when working with clients face to face.
