Usually each session will last for 50 minutes and I will let you know when we are nearing the end of a session. However as many of my clients have some children some opt to do shorter sessions more frequently.
The number of sessions will depend on your individual needs. During the consultation we can discuss this and you can change your mind and stop sessions or add more as we work together.
Usually sessions are weekly but can be more or less frequent depending on your needs and availability.
I am an Integrative therapist, which means I am trained across a variety of approaches and do not have one rigid approach. I do not believe therapy can be a 'one size fits all' but instead will tailor my approach to each client. See 'Therapies & Methods' section for more information, or book in for a free consultation and I would be happy to discuss this.
Following the initial consultation we can book our first session together either in person or online. During the session you can talk about anything that is on your mind and that you would like to work through. The sessions will be led by you with my role being to guide you and offer insights from a professional therapeutic perspective. I also use art therapy, stone work and other techniques when clients would like to explore other forms of therapy.
I offer a free no obligation consultation and following this each session is £55 per session.
I offer discounts for students, pensioners, low-income clients & other personal circumstances that may have affected individual finances. I will always strive to work within your means.
I also offer discounts for block booking sessions. This can all be discussed in our consultation.
I offer sessions online or in a dedicate therapy room within my home. During our consultation we can discuss your preferences. For parents with babies I invite them to bring their baby to sessions if this makes it easier or can also offer 'pram sessions' and conduct session on a walk.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists) and abide by their ethical framework, which stipulates that everything in a session will remain confidential. Please request GDPR Policy for information on storage and disposal of personal information.
