I understand that there are times when sessions need to be cancelled and I ask that you give as much notice as possible. I will not charge for cancelled sessions with more than 24 hours’ notice.

No. I am not going to tell you what you should be doing or give you advice. Counselling gives you the space and time to explore your situation and help you work towards your own solutions at a pace that is right for you. My role is to work alongside you to reach your own potential, free from judgement, criticism and expectation.

Counselling is confidential unless you disclose something that implies that either you or someone else is at risk of serious harm or if there is a child protection issue, in which case we will work together to get the necessary help and support. Please see the attached working guidelines for full confidentiality policy.

Counselling sessions are on a one to one basis only. I am unable to offer group or couples therapy at this time.

Counselling: Individual Sessions : £50 per hour Canine Assisted Therapy: £60 per session Payment by cash, debit/credit card or by bank transfer If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact me to discuss further as I can be flexible with fees. Supervision: £55.00 per hour/£75.00 per 1.5 hours

I believe in collaborative working and aim to provide a relationship that is genuine, honest and where you feel safe enough to be open including saying if you feel counselling is not working. In this instance I would welcome your feedback and address the issues with you.

Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes, usually weekly but can be flexible to suit your needs or financial situation. There is no minimum or maximum limit to how many sessions I offer as each person and situation is different and I will respect your decision to end counselling when you feel ready to do so.
