Counselling with me
You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what you want to get from counselling before we meet. Whether you have a particular challenge in mind or simply a feeling that life is becoming difficult, we can start from there.
My approach is focused entirely on you. I won’t direct our time together or pressure you to discuss certain topics. Instead, we can explore what’s going on for you at a pace that feels safe, guided by what you feel ready to share.
Taking the first step
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call before you decide whether you'd like to begin counselling. It's an opportunity for us to talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling, for you to ask any questions and to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable talking with me.
There's no commitment to book a counselling session afterwards. Finding a counsellor who feels right for you is important, and you're welcome to take some time to decide.
Sessions and Fees
Face-to-face or online
Usually weekly
50-minute sessions
Face-to-face sessions take place at The Counselling Space in Bishops Waltham, Hampshire. Online sessions are also available
Sessions are usually weekly, at a regular time. Counselling with me is open-ended, so there isn’t a set number of sessions you need to attend. The length of counselling can be different for everyone.
After an initial session, if you would like to continue, I would suggest booking a block of six sessions. This gives us some time to get a feel for working together and begin to explore what you would like from counselling.
At the end of the six sessions, we can take some time to reflect on how things are going and think about where you’d like to go from there.
£55 per session
Your first session
At the beginning of our first session, I’ll check whether you have any questions about the counselling agreement or anything else you’d like to ask before we begin.
From there, we can start wherever feels most natural. It can be difficult to know what to say straight away, especially if counselling is new to you. You might want to tell me a little about yourself or what has brought you to counselling, or we might simply start by talking about how your day has been.
