What to expect

Starting Counselling

Counselling begins with courage; my role is to ensure you feel safe, supported

 and able to explore your concerns with confidence.

Initial Consultation

I offer an initial, 30 minute, consultation to explore and clarify your needs.

There is no fee for this session. This is an opportunity for us to see if we’re a good fit.

During this meeting, I will:

• Explain the counselling process and what you can expect
• Discuss what it is you're hoping to get from counselling and what I can offer you as a counsellor. 
• Outline practical details such as session times, fees, and cancellations
• Discuss confidentiality and how it safeguards our work
• Share how the BACP ethical framework guides my professional practice

Ongoing Therapy

Counselling gives you the space to talk openly about life events (past and present), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour with someone you trust.

 As a therapist  I will do my best to help you look at your issues and understand them a bit better, 

giving you new choices about how to live your life.
