Appointments

My usual practice is to arrange a mutually convenient time for us to talk on the phone for around 10 mins. We can look speak just a little about what you are wanting to see me about, and also about practicalities like appointment times, where I am based, parking etc.

It is important that you choose a counsellor who feels right for you and has the right experience to be helpful. So the next step would be to set up a Taster appointment (50mins for individuals and 50 – 75 mins for couples) at a reduced rate of £50. Taster sessions are similar enough to ongoing counselling to give you a real sense of what it would be like to come and see me regularly. They give you space to ask questions and me the opportunity to learn a little more about you to help me think about how I might work with you to help you.Some people come with a clear idea of what they want to use counselling for, they may have seen a counsellor before. Others come just knowing that something doesn’t feel okay for them and that is fine to. We will work it out together.

If after talking things through we decide to go ahead with counselling, we will set up regular appointments. These will be on the same day/time each week and cost £60 for one to one appointments lasting 50mins and £80 for couple appointments lasting 50 -75 mins. We will talk about how many sessions we may work together. Sometimes a few sessions can make a real difference to a particular area of your life. At other times, with circumstances, patterns or difficulties that have been around for a long time, it can be helpful come for a longer period of time to gain the most benefit. Whatever we think at the outset, we will review as we go and tailor to fit your needs.
