At our initial meeting, which is usually called an assessment, you will have the opportunity to talk through your reasons for considering counselling. 

​

The assessment will allow us to discuss any expectations you may have about counselling. Once we have done this we can think about whether I might be able to meet your counselling needs. In some circumstances, I may not be the best person to help you and instead you may benefit from a referral to another practitioner/organisation, who will have specialist expertise in your area of concern. 

​

I offer once weekly, open ended long-term and time-limited, counselling. A decision to work either open-ended long-term or time-limited can vary according to individual needs, but we can discuss this at our initial assessment meeting.

​

If we decide to proceed with working together, we would agree to meet for your sessions, once a week at a mutually agreed time.

We will also discuss fees in the assessment.
