1. initial consultation

free

I provide a 15-20 minute video or phone call. This allows you to explain your reasons for seeking counselling.

​It is also an opportunity for me to tell you a little about how I work and to ensure that I think I am able to safely work with the issues you would like to bring to counselling. After speaking, if we both think we would be a good fit, you are welcome to book your first face-to-face session in Cheltenham or online. However, there is no obligation to start therapy if you do not want to.

2. first session

£35

In the first face-to-face session in Cheltenham or online session, we will explore in greater depth what has brought you to counselling, discuss expectations, and I will explain in fuller detail how I work.  

The session lasts 50 min and at the end you can decide if counselling is for you, and I will also consider if I am the right counsellor to work with you.

My primary interest is that you get the help you need. If I think that I am not the right help for you then I will do my best to recommend other professionals or services.​

Counselling can be long or short-term face-to-face in Cheltenham or online. We can agree a fixed duration for counselling or work on a monitored, open-ended basis, where we review what is needed every six sessions.
