“What is necessary to change a person...

is to change his awareness of himself” — Abraham Maslow

What to expect

Once you have contacted me, we can arrange a suitable time

for an initial session. This first session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, explore how counselling might help and give you a chance to ask any questions you may have. It’s also an opportunity for us to

see whether we feel comfortable working together or whether a different therapist might be a better fit for you.

If you decide to continue, we will agree on a regular day

and time for your sessions. Wherever possible, sessions are held at the same time each week to provide a consistent, dedicated space for you. However, I understand that life can be unpredictable so we can be flexible if needed.

If you choose not to continue after the initial session that’s

absolutely fine – there’s no obligation or pressure to commit.

Sessions and Fees

Counselling can be either short-term or long-term depending

on your needs. Short-term therapy is often helpful when you want to focus on a specific issue, while longer-term work allows for deeper exploration and can be open-ended.

We will review our work together where we can look at how

things are going and discuss what feels right for you moving forward.

Sessions last for one hour and are charged at £65.

“The voice of the intellect is a soft one but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing” — Sigmund Freud
