What can you expect?

---

I will contact you to arrange a 30 minute call  during which we will explore what you would like to achieve through counselling. This gives us a chance to establish a connection and for you to see if you would like to work with me.  

The initial 50-minute session will be in person at my practice location or online. It will cost £75, during which we will create a "contract" discussing what you would like to achieve in therapy and setting out our working boundaries. This sounds intimidating, however it is to ensure a safe environment in which we can focus on your needs.  

I generally meet weekly with clients at the same time and place, for a 50 minutes session that will cost £75. If you require alternative arrangements, these can be discussed in our first meeting.

Our meetings will be for a standard 50 minutes. 

I work online and in person in Bury St Edmunds - see locations, we will discuss availability during the complementary call.

During the first meeting we will agree on an initial number of sessions and review this at the halfway point. This is a difficult question to answer, some people may only require 3 or 4 sessions to resolve a specific problem, whereas others may require an unspecified number of sessions to resolve more complex issues. 

My working preference is that we have weekly face to face sessions. However should you prefer, I am happy to work online as long as we have face-to-face sessions at regular intervals. All of this will be agreed in our first meeting,

• Initial session (30 mins): Free
• First meeting / Contracting (50 mins): £75
• Weekly meeting (50 mins): £75 

• Prearranged cancellations with 48hrs notice are free of charge. 
• Prearranged cancellations with 24hrs notice are charged at 50%
• Less than 24 hours  notice or non-attendance are charged at full price.

Payment is required before each session. I will invoice you, and payment can be made via bank transfer / credit card. We will discuss this during the first meeting.

I have Professional Indemnity insurance and partake in  Supervision. This is a confidential / annonaymised support system that helps to ensure good working practice  is followed.
