Counselling

Counselling is a ‘talking therapy’ and provides a safe and non-judgemental environment to discuss and explore their feelings and problems. It is a process to explore things in more depth and bring about change and often closure. A counsellor is not there to fix problems but to empower you and support you in the changes and seek solutions to reconcile or find ways of coping. Each session is unique and tailored to each individual and their needs.

There are various methods I provide:

Face to face counselling: This is the most common form of counselling. Sessions are booked at a time and day that suits you providing there is availability the sessions will be the same time and day each week once a suitablke time has been decided. Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £40.00 

Telephone Counselling: This is more suitable to some clients and a helpful alternative, sessions are arranged at a time that suits you providing there is availability? I will call you. Materials may be sent via email to support you. Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £40 and payment is required by bank transfer 48 hours prior the session

Young People's Counselling: Age 18 and above Sessions are 50 minutes they are a standard £40 the parent can stay however the individual often opens up more if the parent is not present. The first session often the parent stays 15 minutes or so or the whole session if a young person is anxious however it depends on the individual? 

Walk and talk therapy: Weather permitting for clients who present with high anxiety and don't like closed spaces it is possible to use the beauty of the surounding area to walk and talk, this will be discussed at the assessment session and contracted with confidentiality etc. Sessions are one hour and £40 as per counselling.  Due to health reasons this is currently unavailable as of July 2023 until further notice.
