Areas of counselling I deal with

Fees

Choosing the right counsellor for you is very important . In our first intial meeting I offer to explain how I work.

My fee per session is £30.00p

I work for an hour each session.

I offer both a short and a long term counselling service. Sometimes short term counselling can help with a specific problem or difficulty. So a few sessions can help you move forward. Sometimes counselling may be support which is needed for several months helping with a painful life crisis such as divorce, bereavement , loss , or difficult issues relating to the past .

Further Information

I have disabled access to my counselling premises.

I also consider home visits if requested, though this does depend on distance.

I ask for 24 hours notice if an appointment needs to be cancelled.
Please feel free to call, or e mail if you would like to ask about my counselling . I aim to respond within 24 hours.
