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 how you feel and what you want. 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 get a feel for what I can offer and if it is right for you.
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 6 session 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 generally work with clients for a number of months.
Where are you based?
I practice in central Bristol as well as offering online sessions.
