​

Our first session together. 

Following an initial free 20-minute call, I will email you a contract to have a read through and sign. We can then go through this contract together at the first session, highlighting the confidentiality policy in place. 

​

I will complete a short assessment with you, where I aim to deepen my understanding of what has brought you to counselling. This will include collecting your basic personal details such as next of kin’s contact and GP details. I aim to gain some understanding of the issues you are facing and how I might be able to support you. This assessment and any other written work or notes made are held securely under data protection/GDPR.

During this initial session we can explore how you would like us to work so that I can ensure a collaborative relationship. We will establish our working boundaries and arrange following sessions. We can discuss anything you want to during each session as staying within your frame of reference is the most important aspect to my work.

There is no specific time limit on how many sessions we can have although we will talk about this on an ongoing basis. Some people choose to have 6 to 12 sessions, or for some the work can be ongoing and longer term.

I charge from £50 for a 50-minute session. 

If there is anything else you would like to know please do get in touch.
