Our Counselling Sessions

I offer an initial consultation session for £10 in which we can both meet and talk about what is troubling you, and to see if we both feel comfortable working together.

This first meeting will take around forty minutes in which I will ask you what has brought you here today. You may not know exactly what is troubling you, and that is ok, as it might just be a feeling you have.  Also, you will have the chance to ask me about how I work, my training, experience and what you can expect from me.

"How can I provide a relationship which this person
may use for their own personal growth?"

(Carl Rogers, On becoming a person, 1961)

I will also discuss what I will expect of you as a client and outline our working contract, a copy of which you can take away to read, sign and return, should you decide you are ready to commit to the counselling process.

As counselling is usually held at a specific time every week, we will choose a time that is convenient for you, which will then become your weekly slot, until such time that you feel you have achieved what you came here to explore.  At that time we will agree on at least one 'ending session' as a way of wrapping up any loose ends and to bring our working alliance to a close.
