About me and my therapy practice

I have had counselling myself in the past so I understand what it feels like to take those initial steps. 

All sessions are 50 minutes long and are scheduled to take place at the same time each week.

Should you prefer online counselling sessions I offer these using Microsoft Teams.

The work is open-ended – there is no limit to the number of sessions available. I conduct regular reviews to ensure that your needs are being met and very much encourage clients to be open about what they feel is and isn’t working. After all, it’s your process and it’s about helping you in a way that is most comfortable and effective for you personally.

I adhere to the ethical framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) so you can be sure you are being treated in a safe, accountable and professional way.

Availability

A busy counselling practice means fluctuating availability but generally speaking I can usually find session slots to accommodate new clients on a weekday evening other than Mondays. I also work on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons.

I currently have no availability during weekday mornings or weekday afternoons.

Please call or drop me a text or email to discuss my current availability.

Before we start any counselling, we’ll meet together in an Initial Consultation so that:

• I can get a good initial understanding of your counselling needs and goals.
• You can get a sense of whether I’m someone you’d like to work with.
• I can start to build a plan of how we’ll work together to get you where you want to be. 
• You can ask any questions you may have, or ask questions you think of as we go along.
• I can make a preliminary decision as to whether we can work together safely, ethically and within the scope of my training and expertise.  Should I decide that your needs would be better met by a different therapist or organisation (this happens only rarely) I will signpost you appropriately. 
• You can decide if you’d like to continue working with me.
