Step 1: You contact me

Please complete and submit the e-form to explore my offer of a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship. 

​

I will respond to your message within 24-hrs. We will decide a mutually convenient day and time for a brief initial consultation (online or phone).

​

Step 2: Initial free consultation

In this brief 15-min free initial consultation you may ask any questions to help you decide whether you would like us to work together.

​​​

If we agree that it is a good fit, I will invite you to sign a counselling agreement and we will schedule our sessions.  

​​

Step 3: Our counselling sessions

Depending on our agreed modality, I will either send you the location details for in-person sessions, or joining details, for online sessions.

​

Each session will be of 50-min duration. Our journey will continue at a pace that feels right to you. For an effective counselling process, it is important to meet weekly, or at least bi-weekly.

​

Using a trauma-informed integrative approach, I will aim to provide a safe environment of openness and trust in our sessions. We will explore your issues, connect with and harness your inner resources for healing and growth.

​

I use person-centred and psychodynamic approaches with elements of somatic experiencing and emotionally focused therapy.

​​

Step 4: Fees and payments

My fee for each session is £60 for individuals & £70 for couples.

​​

You can pay either through bank transfer prior to / on the day of your counselling session, or by cash during the session. 

​

I have a small number of concessions available for students, including counselling trainees.

​​​

For cancelling /  rescheduling:

• Cancellation: If you give me a minimum of 48-hrs notice that you need to cancel your appointment, no payment is due.

• Rescheduling: If you give me a minimum of 48-hrs notice that you need to reschedule your appointment, we will try to find an alternative day/time to meet.

• Missed appointments: Missed appointments, or no shows, without 48-hrs notice will be charged the full counselling fee (£60 for individuals & £70 for couples).
