Do you offer face to face or online sessions?
<\/b>I do offer a limited amount of face to face sessions.  I also offer more online\/telephone appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Video conferencing offers a close alternative to face to face working and I am experienced in creating a safe relationship via this method to support your therapeutic journey.  We can discuss the benefits and your feelings about any downsides of this way of working if we choose to meet online.  I also offer telephone sessions too.<\/p>\n

\n

How long can we work together?<\/strong>
I offer brief and focused work or open-ended, long term counselling and psychotherapy.  We can discuss your needs and wants for the length of counselling when we first meet.  However long we decide to work together for, we will have regular reviews to check how you feel the counselling is progressing.<\/p>\n

What will the first session involve?<\/strong>
In the first session we will both have the space to assess our suitability to work together and for you to tell me a little about yourself.   I take some details from you (name, date of birth, contact details, GP details and next of kin) and I have a written contract which we will go through in this session as well.<\/p>\n

There is then an opportunity for you to tell  me the details of why you have sought therapy and any other material you wish to share in this session.<\/p>\n

From this session we may both decide that we need a little bit more time and we can organise a second session in which to do this. Alternatively we may be able to agree on a timescale to work together in that initial appointment.<\/p>\n

How much do you charge?
<\/b>I charge \u00a365 per session for individual work.  My fee is the same for the first session and any subsequent sessions.  Individual sessions are for 50 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For supervision, I charge \u00a370 per hour for individual supervision or adhoc consultations and \u00a380 per hour for group supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Do I need to bring anything with me for the first session?<\/strong>
No, just bring yourself and I will help you to feel able to speak as freely as you’d like to.  If we are meeting online then it’s important that the space you are speaking from is quiet and confidential.  When working online, I work in a confidential dedicated counselling room.<\/p>\n

How much notice do you need for a cancellation?<\/strong>
I require 48 hours prior to cancelling a scheduled session, otherwise I will need to charge for the missed session.  Naturally, you may want to take a holiday from therapy and we will schedule this in as we work together.<\/p>\n

What is your availability?<\/strong>
I may have limited availability for individuals and supervisees – please get in touch for further details.<\/p>\n

Do you offer relationship, marriage or couples therapy?<\/strong>
I am currently taking a break from offer this form of therapy<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
