Counselling

Offered in person and online, via a secure platform or on the telephone if you prefer. More details about what counselling entails can be found HERE

More about what happens in our time together can be found in the common questions below.

1-1

We meet one-one weekly, if you decide to continue beyond the initial session. I suggest to continue for at least 6 weeks, but it is up to you to decide. I work for limited sessions and also open ended. 

Regular reviews will be part of our work together. 

Sometimes, we might decide to change the duration or the way we meet. 

The most important part of our work is that you are getting what you are seeking in way of support. 

For Adults

I work with anyone over the age of 18. 

common questions

It is not known ahead of time when you might feel differently, clarity about your situation is revealed over time. There are no promises of a certain type of outcome but through the conditions I provide you, grants a certain sense of trust to evolve, which allows a greater freedom for exploring the work we do collaboratively. 

We will continue to review how things are going, and work accordingly. It’s up to you how long you want to work together. I suggest it takes at least 6 sessions to get something worthwhile, this allows any initial feelings, like nervousness to dissipate. 

We meet for a full hour, on line to allow for any disruption to the connection, Face to face sessions will be  50 minutes unless we discuss an alternative working agreement. 

This can be discussed. 

We will agree the terms of our arrangement in a working agreement, that is most suited to you. 

Usually, at least for a few weeks, weekly sessions is recommended. You might choose to drop to fortnightly after you feel you have noticed significant changes in your circumstance. 

Then you might wish to have monthly check-ins. I aim to support you in a way that suits your needs. 

Our working time will be kept to our regular meeting times. You are welcome to bring any notes you have made to discuss.

It’s so important to have a good feeling about your therapist, this is why I will offer a free call so that you can find out how it might be to work with me. 

You don’t have to make a decision on the spot you can give it some thought and come back to me.  

The choice is always yours, this depends of what you are bringing to work with I can work open ended with you, or short term. 

Its very individualised, and Its good to have an opportunity to work more deeply post 3 months. 

I would say it is good to have at least 8 sessions. We would review how things are going periodically. Checking in to ensure that you are getting needs met. 

I work face to face in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.
