What to Expect - Individual Counselling

Counselling is a shared commitment — a space to explore what’s happening in your life and to gain insight into yourself and your relationships. My role is to offer a reflective, compassionate space where understanding can deepen and change can begin.

Terms and conditions

Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually held weekly at the same time. My fee is £65 per session, with an initial consultation at £35 following a free 5-minute phone call. I offer both open-ended and short-term counselling, depending on what feels most helpful for you.

Missed appointments are charged in full.

Confidentiality is central to our work. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to its Ethical Framework and handle your information in accordance with the UK GDPR. I also receive regular, confidential supervision to ensure our work remains safe, ethical, and effective.

 If you need immediate support between sessions, please contact your Doctor, Samaritans (116 123), or dial 999 in an emergency.
