How do I get started?
If you are reading this, then you’ve already started!
An early stage in counselling is recognising that something has changed or you desire change. You don’t need to have thought about solutions or come up with answers to seek out counselling. Bring your feelings and emotions and we can start from there.
If you are ready to get started on your counselling journey, you’ll need to book an assessment session. This is a free 30 minute session where we meet (online) and discuss what you are looking for in counselling.
It gives you a chance to see if you are okay to work with me and for me to make sure I can work with you. You can ask any questions you may have and If you decide to go ahead, I’ll email a shared agreement document for you to review.
The shared agreement includes details on confidentiality, session timings, cancellations and payments. It exists to make sure you and I clearly understand how we will work together.
If you are happy to go ahead we will book in a session at a time to suit. Counselling sessions are £50 and payment is due 24 hours before the session.
