Further information

My moto is we believe that everyone deserves a piece of the pie.

Prevention, Intervention and Education (PIE) is the key to a positive well-being.

We aim to steer the preventative flagship rather than just dealing with the aftermath of trauma and distress by providing affordable therapeutic services.  Working towards a Better Well-Being.

I will always consider 'individual circumstances' and apply discretion to fees when appropriate to enable a more autonomous based well-being and support.

To 'Get started' send an email or give me a call and we can discuss an assessment session.  This is just so that we can check that you are happy to start the process of Counselling with me.

Next we will arange an initial assessment.

Initial assessment on the phone Free (Typically lasts 30-40 minutes)

Initial Assessment face to face £20 (Payment required at booking)

Then if you are happy to continue we will book in the next session, we will arrange to see each other weekly/fortnightly/monthly or whatever you circumstances dictate for you at that time.
