GENERAL QUERIES
HOW LONG IS EACH SESSION?
1 hour long.
WHAT IS PERSON-CENTRED COUNSELLING?
Person-centred counselling is a humanistic therapy. Known for its non-directive, empathic and client-centred approach.
WILL THERE BE ANY HOMEWORK?
Not with person-centred therapy. However, most of the work does happen between sessions. What I mean by this, is that we have 1 hour a week to discuss your issues and potential solutions, but it is you as the client that will decide whether, and when you want to implement change into your life. I am there to help guide and support you through that process.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ANY ACCREDITING BODIES?
Yes, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
HOW MUCH IS YOUR FEE?
Individual sessions are £35 and couples counselling are £50.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
This can vary for each client, everyone's needs are different so the length and frequency of therapy will therefore be different. I regularly check in with clients to see where they are at, how they feel about their progress, and from there we can adjust the length of therapy as and when.
WHY DO YOU ONLY WORK REMOTELY?
I currently work remotely, offering counselling sessions online and by phone. This allows me to balance my private practice alongside my full-time counselling role while still providing high-quality support to my clients. I truly believe that online and phone counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions, offering the same level of connection, support, and therapeutic benefit—all with the added convenience and accessibility to fit into your life.
WHAT IS THE 15 MINUTE INTRODUCTION CALL FOR?
This is a free service that I offer before booking in for your first session. The introductory session gives you the opportunity to ask any question you might have and for you to see if this is the right type of therapy for you. It has also been known to remove some of the anxiety that clients might feel surrounding therapy.
HOW DO I PAY?
Payment is made via bank transfer, at least 1 hour before the session.
IS EVERYTHING I TELL YOU ANONYMOUS?
Everything discussed in the sessions will remain confidential unless you or someone else is in significant harm. This will be discussed more intensely within the first session during the contract.
