Frequently Asked Questions

Is counselling for me?

A client of mine was very sceptical before coming for counselling and didn't think it was for her. However, she gave permission to add her thoughts to my website as she wanted others to have the confidence to try it. She loved having someone other than family and friends to talk to and felt like she had the space to be herself and gain clarity.

Can I talk to you first?

I offer a free bookable 20 minute telephone appointment to all clients.

How many sessions will I need?

I work weekly with clients for a minimum of six sessions and can do long term work as required.

Are the sessions confidential?

I work according to the BACP ethical boundaries and everything we talk about will be in confidence, unless there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.
