What To Expect

I offer a free 30 minute online introductory session.  This is a chance for you to get a feel for how I work and ask any questions you may have and decide whether we want to work together.

Your first session
Your first session lasts around 50 minutes to an hour.  This time is dedicated to helping you feel comfortable, explaining how counselling works and exploring what bring you to therapy.  We will start with a simple counselling agreement (contract) which covers practical details such as

• Confidentiality – what this means and the limits to it.
• Session length and frequency – how often we meet and for how long.
• Fees and cancellations – clear information for what to expect.
• Ethical practice – reassurance of how I work within the BACP ethical principles with integrity and professionalism.

Ongoing Sessions
After your first session we will agree together on a rhythm that works best for you – whether that’s weekly or fortnightly meetings.  Consistency helps create a steady space for consistency and growth but the frequency can be tailored to your needs and circumstances.
