As my client, you are protected by both the Data Protection Act and the Ethical Guidelines of BACP , the regulatory body for Counselling and Psychotherapy
I offer a no cost 15 minute telephone consultation prior to arranging our assessment session, in order to answer any questions you may have about myself or my practice.
Our assessment session which is 1 hour, is an opportunity for me to take a brief history, discuss your difficulties, and to find out what changes you are looking to make.
During our lives , we are often faced with various challenges, such as understanding our past experiences, processing our present situations and planning for the future - sometimes all of the above.
For you, the first session is a chance to see how therapy can support this process. You might like to prepare a list of questions: or simply just come as you are. Both are equally welcomed. By the end of our initial time together, my hope is that you would achieve a sense of whether you would like to work with me.
Subsequent sessions will be for a duration of 50 minutes and will be on a set day and time weekly.
