This is different for each client. Some clients find that one or two sessions gives them an opportunity to be heard and work through the issues they are having. It has been found that six sessions provides a reasonable time-frame for clients to increase their self-awareness, reflect on any issues and facilitate some positive change for them. Other clients find a longer-term approach works for them.

Counselling doesn’t seek to answer questions for you or tell you what to do because I believe you are the expert in your life. What counselling does is provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space for you to explore any issues that you are having. I will reflect with you and help you identify any negative patterns that you might be experiencing as well as what might be having a negative impact in your life. I believe that by helping clients to identify feelings, increase their self-awareness and self-compassion, this can facilitate change for the client. I aim to empower clients to help make the changes they need to make and improve their sense of wellbeing.

I charge £60 (individual counselling) and £85 (couples or family counselling).

At present, I am offering in person counselling, Zoom and telephone counselling. This is constantly under review and I will switch to Zoom counselling if a client would prefer to or the levels of Covid 19 locally increase.
