Therapy with me

I offer a free initial 15-20 minute telephone consultation. I'll ask you why you're considering counselling at this time and what issues you would like to focus on (it's ok if you're not sure). It will allow us to see if our availability matches and you can ask me any questions you have. I will have in mind whether my training, skills and experience match your needs but we might need to discuss more at a first session to fully understand this.  

The assessment session which will be a little different to ongoing therapy. I will ask you some further questions about your current circumstances and understand more about you which will shape the work we do together. I'll discuss the working agreement with you so we both know what we're signing up for. The working agreement is an informal contract to explain how therapy will work, confidentiality boundaries, payment arrangements and other information. An example is included in the 'useful info' section. The assessment session is charged at £55 for one hour.

I offer short and long term therapy for people over 16 years of age. The number of sessions we have together is primarily based on your wants and needs. We will review how the sessions are going on a regular basis. Each session is 50 minutes

I usually work in person from my therapy room in Forest Fields, Nottingham (NG7 6LH). Unfortunately access to my therapy room is via stairs, please consider this if you have mobility issues. I may be able to use a different room on occasion. On-line sessions can be accommodated if required. 

My rate is £55 per 50 minute session. I do have some other concessionary places available but these are limited (please enquire). I currently have availability on Fridays.
