About Sessions
What to expect
It's normal to feel a bit uncomfortable and apprehensive when you take that first step and come to therapy, so this is to give you a bit more information of what to expect.
An overview
The first session is a chance to talk, and be listened to and to experience a space that is free from distractions. We will get to know each other and form a better understanding of what you are hoping to gain from therapy.
It is also important that you feel comfortable and the first session is a good opportunity to reflect on how you feel in the therapy space and whether you like working with me.
​
We will go through the contract together and sign this before we start any counselling work.
​
Information about you and what we talk about is confidential, I will not disclose anything unless I feel you or anyone else's safety is at risk.
​
Each session is 50 minutes
​
Payment can be made by bank transfer before your session or by bringing cash/ card when we meet in person.
​
There is parking and a toilet available for client use.

20 min 'getting to know you' call
I offer a free telephone consultation which usually takes around 20 minutes. This is to find out more about each other. I can get a sense of what you want to work on in counselling and we can make a plan from there on what the next steps look like.
Individual counselling
These are 50 minutes long and we would usually agree to meet weekly, however I do offer flexibility here if needed. Your counselling can be short-term or long-term depending on what you would like.
