Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I practice face to face counselling in Horsham and Southwater, West Sussex. I also offer online video sessions via online platfoms such as Teams/Zoom, and telephone counselling, which I can offer nationwide
How do we get started?
I offer an initial telephone appointment of 15-20 minutes to explore between us if we could be a good therapeutic fit. Therapy is all about the relationship so it’s important that we have a connection.
What are your fees?
I offer an initial free 15-minute telephone call for the purpose of understanding how I work and if we would be a suitable working relationship. My current fees are £55 and will increase in October 2023 to £60.00 per session (50 minutes)
What areas do you help with?
I work with many areas of mental health and wellbeing, and rather than working with labels, I work with the individual in the room. That said, I have experience in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, addiction, trauma and grief.
How many sessions do you recommend?
I would suggest a minimum of 6 sessions. However sessions can be anything from
6 weeks to 2 years plus. I would revisit with you as my client at week 6 to explore where we are in the journey.
Do I have to sign anything?
Yes. All clients I see would sign a therapeutic contract which will provide details on the length of session, costs and times as well as cancellation fees as part of terms and conditions of our working relationship
