I find it is really helpful to have an initial chat on the phone before we go ahead and make an appointment. This gives me an opportunity to get to know what you are looking for and whether I can help you.
The first session will be an assessment. This is time for us to get to know each other and to explore what is bringing you to therapy. It will also give us the opportunity to see whether we are comfortable working together.
You can choose to have short term counselling (6-10 sessions) or open ended sessions, where there are no limits to the number of sessions you can have.
Payments
Payment is made at the beginning of each session by cash or 48 hours in advance of the session, by bank transfer.
Sessions generally take place on a weekly basis and at the same time each week.
Please contact me via this page, by email, text message or telephone 07596 140463, for further details and to arrange an initial appointment.
I always try to get back to you within 24 hours, yet generally it is sooner.

Your policy includes counselling
How many sessions will be covered
Whether or not you’ll need a referral from your GP.
If your provider agrees to cover the cost of therapy please give me your policy number and authorisation code when booking your first appointment. I will then liaise with your insurers to obtain coverage for further appointments, send invoices and track payments.
Any excess on your policy will need to be paid directly to me.
