HOW DOES IT WORK?

Initial consultation

I offer a free 20 to 30-minute consultation over the phone or videocall so you can ask me any questions about how I work and get a sense of who I am, to see if you want to work with me.

Frequency and duration

Normally, we would meet on a weekly basis for 50 minutes, on the same day and at the same time.

The frequency and length of sessions can be flexible in certain circumstances which we will discuss during the consultation. In cases where due to the complexity of your issues you might need more time, I also offer 1 hour and 15 minute sessions (session and a half).

I offer long-term therapy for more complex or long-standing issues or short-term therapy if you want to work on a specific issue.

Sessions and location

• Face-to-face in my office in Southampton, SO15.

• Online sessions (Skype, Google Meet, Doxy.me or Teams).

• I also offer blended sessions; a blend of face-to-face and online.

First session

In our first session, we will fill out an initial assessment form with general questions about your wellbeing. We will also discuss the counselling contract, where we will agree how to work together. We will establish boundaries in order to ensure your safety and best practice. We will also discuss your goals and expectations from counselling.

Reviews

I offer regular reviews, which is a space for you to share how therapy has been working for you and any feedback you might have in order to make any necessary changes.

Fees and payment

• £60 for a 50-minute session.

• £90 for a 1 hour and 15 minutes session.
