How might we work together
I offer an online service for adults 18 plus. We will usually work on a weekly or fortnightly basis and review every 6 sessions. I offer long and short term counselling but I can also offer single sessions where we concentrate on one specific problem or emotional encounter within one session.
I offer a free initial 15-minute phone/video consultation to see if you think we would work well together. It’s also a chance to hear what is going on for you and you can ask any questions you might have.
Charges and Concessions
Sessions cost £50 and and last one hour.
I take payments via bank transfer. If you are a student there is a reduced rate of £40 per session.
I want everyone to be able to access my counselling service so I do offer some limited places for concessions for low income clients so please do ask and I can place you on a waiting list if none of these places are available.
Availability
I am available weekdays and evenings. I do also offer a morning on Saturday on request and I can let you know if I have a space. Please contact me if you'd like to ask any further questions.
