About me and my therapy practice
Hi,
I believe that, to get past our difficult feelings, we need to work through them.
I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family issues, low self-esteem or trauma.
We will use our time together to take a closer look at these issues and create a plan for addressing them in a way that leaves you calmer and in greater control of your emotions. My clients generally experience an improvement in symptoms within 6-10 sessions.
Although it may now feel it right now, I believe that you are the expert on you. You may have lost sight of what you want and need due to external pressures and we will work together to re-acquaint you with your authentic self.
I try to work as flexibly as possible around your availability. I understand the demands of family commitments, older dependents and work so don't expect you to commit to the same time every week. Nor do I expect you to commit to a specific type or number of sessions; many of my clients attend in person but also request the occasional online session and are free to end counselling whenever they feel ready.
Although I don't offer concessionary rates, I am more than happy to offer flexibility around frequency and timing of sessions which is why I'm available until 7.00pm.
All individual sessions are 60 minutes at a cost of £55.
Couples counselling is £80 for a one-hour session.
Practice description
Rather than attending a specific number of sessions because you have committed to them, I believe that, for you to get the most out of counselling, it is important that you come because you want to and feel that you are benefitting from them.
I work from an accessible downstairs room in a peaceful, private and rural setting.
Please note that, due to the rural location, it is only accessible by car.
My first session
I recognise that starting counselling is a big step and one in which you will want to be sure that you have chosen the right person to share your struggles with.
That is why I offer a free, no obligation 15-minute telephone chat before our first session to see if the way I work will suit you.
Please text 07496 356416 to arrange.
