FAQs

How often do I have counselling sessions?

Sessions are usually arranged on a weekly basis at the same time and day each week. However, I am happy to discuss arrangements with you to find a schedule that works best for your individual needs, and I will always try to be flexible where possible to accommodate work, school or other commitments.

What happens if I’m late or have to cancel a session?

I kindly ask that you arrive on time for each session, whether online or in person, as sessions cannot be extended if started late. If you need to cancel or rearrange an appointment, I ask that at least 24 hours’ notice is given. Please note that sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments, will be charged at the full session fee.

Are the sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a fundamental part of the therapeutic relationship, and what we discuss during our sessions will remain private. However, there are legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, such as situations where I believe you or someone else may be at risk of serious harm. In these circumstances, I may need to take appropriate action and follow safeguarding procedures, and wherever possible, I will discuss this process with you fully. Confidentiality and its limits will be explained in more detail during our initial appointment.

Can I stop the counselling sessions when I want to?

There is no limit to the number of sessions we have. You can decide to take a break or end sessions at any time and I will respect your decision.

How much is each session?

All 50-minute counselling sessions, whether face to face or remote, are £65.

Payment by bank transfer should be made before the beginning of each session. Thank you.

Any questions you have can be answered in our first session together when we will look at a working agreement. It is essential that you feel comfortable and happy to work with me.
