FAQs

What is counselling?

As a therapist, I am not here to tell you what to do or dictate any of the decisions for you to make. What I will do is provide a space where you can feel safe to express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Working alongside you to support you with the skills, time, and empathy to help you understand your experiences and find a way that best suits you to move forward.

Counselling can help you to understand yourself better, develop new ways of coping, and feel more confident in managing life’s challenges.

How do I book a session?

You can complete the contact me form, and I will be in touch to arrange an initial 15-minute consultation. Alternatively, please use the telephone number or email address provided. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.

What should I expect in a session?

Sessions will be tailored to your needs, focusing on your personal growth and healing.

I can offer short-term sessions with a focus on one specific area, working with a realistic timeline to meet your goals.

Long-term sessions offer the time and space to explore experiences and emotions in more depth. Providing you with the support to experience reflection, gentle healing, and growth.

I hold an enhanced DBS and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy; as such, I ensure my practice follows the BACP ethical framework for counselling professionals.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes, everything you share stays between us. Only if I feel there is a real risk of harm to yourself or another may I need to discuss with someone outside the room. If this were to happen, I would talk with you and explain why, who and what I would need to share. Any concerns or questions regarding confidentiality, I am happy to discuss at any point throughout our time together.

What are your fees?

Fees are listed on the sessions page, with no hidden costs. Payment for each session is due 48 hours before your appointment time.

Can I cancel or reschedule sessions?

Yes, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Any cancellations made after this time or missed appointments will still be chargeable.
