GENERAL QUERIES
HOW LONG IS EACH SESSION?
1 hour long.
DO YOU OFFER EVENING SESSIONS?
Yes, I offer evening sessions.
WHAT IS PERSON-CENTRED COUNSELLING?
Person-centred counselling is a humanistic therapy. Known for its non-directive, empathic and client-centred approach.
WILL THERE BE ANY HOMEWORK?
Not with person-centred therapy. However, most of the work does happen between sessions. What I mean by this, is that we have 1 hour a week to discuss your issues and potential solutions, but it is you as the client that will decide whether, and when you want to implement change into your life. I am there to help guide and support you through that process.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ANY ACCREDITING BODIES?
Yes, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
HOW MUCH IS YOUR FEE?
Individual sessions are £35 (face to face or online) and couples counselling is £50.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
This can vary for each client, everyone's needs are different so the length and frequency of therapy will therefore be different. I regularly check in with clients to see where they are at, how they feel about their progress, and from there we can adjust the length of therapy as and when.
IS THERE PARKING NEAR YOUR OFFICE?
There is street parking available.
DO YOU WORK REMOTELY OR JUST FACE TO FACE?
Yes, I offer both online sessions via Zoom and face to face therapy. I do not offer telephone counselling.
WHAT IS THE 15 MINUTE INTRODUCTION CALL FOR?
This is a free service that I offer before booking in for your first session. The introductory session gives you the opportunity to ask any question you might have and for you to see if this is the right type of therapy for you. It has also been known to remove some of the anxiety that clients might feel surrounding therapy.
HOW DO I PAY?
Payment can be taken by card or cash.
IS EVERYTHING I TELL YOU ANONYMOUS?
Everything discussed in the sessions will remain confidential unless you or someone else is in significant harm. This will be discussed more intensely within the first session during the contract.
