Our first session

Our first meeting will be an initial consultation, which is a combined assessment and 'getting-to-know-you' session. It will be used to explore why you are looking for counselling now and what you might like to talk about, along with some more basic information.

Whilst it is quite a structured session, it is a space for you to talk freely and ask any questions that you may have.

It will also give us the opportunity to see how we might work together. It is important that your needs are being met when you are engaging in counselling, and finding the right counsellor for you is essential for that.

The fee for a 50 minute initial consultation is £25, with there being no obligation to take up further sessions. If we feel that we have a good therapeutic 'fit' and you would like to arrange ongoing sessions, we can do so on the day; however, you may feel that you need to take more time to think it over, and that's ok - it is important that you feel comfortable with your decision.

I hope that this overview provides enough guidance to help you make an informed choice, but if you find you have any questions that you would like to ask please do get in contact and I will be happy to help.
