​

I offer both long-term and time-limited solution focused therapy. I offer a free initial 20 minute telephone consultation. 

​

When you make contact with me, I will email you to offer you a free introductory telephone call,  here we will arrange a mutually convenient time to speak,  this is to ensure you are in a confidential space to speak with me.

​

During the telephone call my aim will be to understand the issues that bring you to counselling and to explain how I work. During this you can decide if I am the right counsellor for you.

​

If from the information you have given me if it is felt a different approach is needed or an alternative service would better suit your needs. I will discuss this with you and assist you in finding alternative therapist or services. 

​

Please note that I will not be able to work with you if you are receiving ongoing therapy from another counsellor/therapist or agency.

What to expect in your first session:

​

The first session  will be an initial assessment, I will be gathering further information with an aim  to understand the issues you feel you want to work on/resolve and how you want to move forwards.  I will explain how I work and we can discuss the goals of therapy. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions.

​

Future sessions:

​

During the sessions I will work at the pace of that is right for you and I will work on the issues that you wish to bring into the sessions, and you wish to discuss.

​

During our work a periodic review will be conducted usually, between the 6-8 session. This puts you at the centre of your therapy, providing an opportunity to reflect on the therapeutic journey, to discuss how the therapy is proceeding and how you want your therapy to proceed.

​

I work with adult clients, children and young people, I offer face to face sessions, online sessions and telephone sessions.

​

Costs for sessions are £45 per hour, weekly and fortnightly sessions are available.
