How could counselling help me?

Counselling works through the relationship built up when the client talks about his/her concerns and difficulties and the counsellor listens and responds with understanding and care.

How is this different from talking to a friend?

The relationship between counsellor and client is a professional, confidential one. The client pays the counsellor to employ her professional skills in listening and engaging with the client in his/her issues for the session time.

What does it cost?

My standard charges are based on two criteria:

1. to reflect my qualifications and experience, acquired over more than 15 years;
2. to keep my charges affordable and compatible with similarly qualified therapists.

In these economically difficult times I recognise that for some people their financial circumstances are restricted. I am therefore prepared to negotiate individual discounts.

My standard charges for a one hour session are:

How many sessions do I have to book?

There is NO FURTHER OBLIGATION if the client chooses not to book another appointment.

How soon can I have an appointment?

If you are able to be flexible about when you can come for an appointment, then usually this can be arranged quickly.

How do I start?
