COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
What counselling and psychotherapy should do is provide you with a safe, supportive space in which you can explore issues that are important to you.
Counselling
This might be exploring thoughts, behaviour and feelings in a general context with an aim to get some symptomatic relief. Counselling is usually short term (anything from 6 weeks to 18 months depending on you and your issue).
Psychotherapy
This builds on the counselling process, takes longer and is more exploratory. It can give us insight into our more deep rooted problems, family and relational dynamics. Psychotherapy is usually long term.
Fees
I offer a free initial half hour session.
The initial consultation is to enable us to meet and initially explore what it is you want from counselling and or psychotherapy.
Sessions happen weekly, sometimes fortnightly and they last 50 minutes. I charge £45 per session for individuals and £55 for couples.
I also offer telephone counselling at the same rate as face to face.
If you feel you can’t afford the fees I have some low cost fees available. Please use the initial consultation to discuss this.
About
I work from my home, my usual therapy room is up a flight of stairs but ground level sessions can be facilitated if this makes sessions more comfortable and accessible.
I share my house with a dog. She is a Westie and is hypoallergenic and she also can bark loudly at a knock on the door. She is very friendly and can meet you if you want but she normally stays in a downstairs room.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy – MBACP
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and have many hundreds of hours in specialist training.
