The therapy sessions that are offered by the service are both online or face to face and on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The form of therapy you could be given by the service is either time-limited or open-ended therapy. This is aimed at offering a psychotherapeutic service that might be best for you but don’t worry about deciding now as we can always explore these options together.

There are some limited concessionary spaces available in the service which are provided for individuals on minimum wage who need counselling. If there are no available spaces the service does have a waiting list.

Initial Session - our first session together has a reduced fee of £30.00 and is a full fifty minute session which is designed to see whether I am the right therapist for you and consider how we might work together towards any therapeutic goals or needs you expect. We can also have plenty of time and space after that session to decide about working together. We might also complete an initial clinical assessment form and sign a counselling contract together. The service conforms to GDPR and data protection laws so all data is stored safely and will be destroyed at the appropriate time.

Time-limited Therapy - the time-limited approach is a brief or short-term form of therapy. After the first session, this would cost £60.00 per session and could usually be expected to be between six to thirty sessions. We would agree to an initial six sessions and then have a review to see whether you wish to extend the therapy.

Open-ended Therapy - the open-ended approach is a long-term form of therapy which might not have a fixed end date as such and would end at a date in the future. After the first session, open-ended sessions would also cost £60.00 per session. We would usually agree to an initial six sessions and review as to see whether you wish to extend the therapy.
