Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Expect at our Initial Session?
After your initial enquiry our first free 30 minute telephone consultation session will give us both the opportunity to get a sense of whether we are able to work together. Once I have asked you some background questions around your presenting issues, you will have a chance to ask me any questions or areas of concern surrounding our future sessions together.
What Happens after the Initial Session?
We can agree to meet on a weekly basis for an initial block of six individual or couple 50 min sessions with a view to ongoing sessions thereafter.
For those who have a busy schedule the days/times of these sessions are flexible. After the six weeks we can evaluate your current needs and agree to an extended time period thereafer.
Will My Sessions be held in Strictest Confidence?
As a practicing counselling psychotherapist I am committed to Continued Professional Development and attend regular Supervision. I follow the Code of Ethics as set out by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP). All therapeutic sessions are held in strictest confidence.
