How Does Counselling Work?

Let’s start working together

We will start with a free 15 minute confidential discussion by phone to see if I’m the right person for you. We’ll talk about what you’d like to get from your counselling and you can ask me any questions you’d like to about therapy in general or the way I work.

If you decide to go ahead with counselling with me, we will arrange the date and time of first session together.

My fees are £50 per session of 50 minutes, payable by bank transfer in advance.

At our first session, we will discuss how we are going to work together and what you would like to focus on during your counselling. Once you are happy with what we have agreed, your counselling will begin.

Subsequent sessions

At the start of each session, I will ask you what you’d like to focus on or reflect upon in that session. All sessions will focus on your needs and concerns.

I will periodically review how your counselling is progressing for you to ensure that it still meets your needs.

You are free to decide how many counselling sessions you want to have. Some people only require a few sessions whereas others might find the support beneficial for several months or years. You will probably instinctively know when you’ve reached the point where you feel ready to move forward with your life feeling happier and more secure in yourself.
