Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take?
This can vary depending on your reasons for coming. Some people want to focus on a specific problem that might be resolved quickly, for example, 6 to 12 sessions. However, it depends on what arises from the sessions, which will guide both the client and therapist to the direction and how long it needs to take. Counselling is a journey of self-discovery and self-development that more and more people are becoming aware of. Some people might therefore attend counselling for a longer period, on average between 1 and 3 years or longer.
How much will it cost?
For a 'therapeutic hour' of 50 minutes.
There is a sliding scale for fees: £80 for individuals and £100 for those who are referred by agencies and organisations.
Some reductions might be possible based on availability, please ask me about this.
How do I start?
As a first step you can call or email me to arrange a first meeting, we will complete a brief assessment and this will allow us to discuss what is going on for you and how counselling might help you. It will also allow you to get a sense of what it's like to be with me and ask questions that you may have about therapeutic counselling and my approach. If after our initial meeting you would like to work with me we can arrange regular session times.
How often should I come?
Frequency depends on you and your needs, some people may choose to come several times per week, in this case adjustments can be made to the fee to make it affordable but I would say no less than once a week as this is the minimum to maintain the therapeutic relationship and therapeutic progress.
When can I come?
Appointments are available in the morning or evening though the evening sessions are at a premium. Ideally you would stick to the same time and day, every week.
