How do I know counselling is right for me?
If you are considering therapy, you may have an inkling that, with some professional input, you might finally be able to figure out why you feel the way you feel and start to change your life for the better. Alternatively you may feel very skeptical about counselling and whether it will help at all. However you feel is completely okay and your initial consultation will help you understand what I can offer, ask any nagging questions and decide whether working together is the way forward.
Is it confidential?
Yes. There are, however, some necessary limits to this confidentiality. This will be discussed in full when you begin therapy and I welcome any questions.
How much does it cost?
Each session costs £75.
Are you a registered counsellor?
Yes. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and adhere to their ethical frame work.
How long do sessions last and how often do they take place?
Ongoing sessions last 50 minutes and take place once a week.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no set number of sessions but I suggest a minimum commitment of 8 sessions after the initial assessment session. This allows time for the therapy to take shape and for you to discover what’s at the heart of the challenges you face. I usually work with clients for around 6 months to 3 years.
Where are you based?
I practice online and in Central Bristol.
