Frequently Asked Questions

Starting counselling can bring up lots of questions. Here are answers to the ones I am asked most often. If yours is not here, please get in touch.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. This is the standard therapeutic hour and gives us enough time for meaningful work.

This varies greatly from person to person. Some people find short-term is what they need, while others prefer longer-term support. We will continue to review our work together. Planned endings are always preferable but of course you can finish counselling whenever you wish

As the therapist I will maintain confidentiality in accordance with an ethical framework for good practice at all times.

​Confidentiality can only be broken when there is evidence that the client may:

  1. Threaten harm to yourself or to another person.
  1. If I the therapist believe a child or protected adult is at risk of harm or abuse.
  1. If the courts instruct the therapist to give information.
  1. If you, the client share information about a proposed act of terrorism or other illegal act

Yes, I offer both in-person and online sessions via secure video call.

The first session is a chance to meet, explore what's brought you to counselling, and begin building a picture of how I can help. There's no pressure — you set the pace.

Please give at least 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations may be charged at the full session rate.

You can pay for your sessions here on the website via the booking link. If you wish to pay via Bank Transfer this can be arranged but payment will need to be made in advance of the day of your appointment.
