Short term counselling for adults online

What to expect before we meet

You can call, message or email me to make an appointment. We will agree on a date, time and if you are happy to use the Zoom platform.
If so, I will email you a link.
If not, we will explore different options such as having the session over Whatsapp or phone.

What to expect in the first session

The first session is free of charge and is intended for us to get to know each other, see if we are a good fit to work together and what would be most helpful for you moving forward.
We go through our contract and agree on the administrative details of our working relationship.
I explain my approach to counselling and expand on what you can expect. I also answer any questions you have.
We then talk about what brings you to counselling, about your goals, your needs and expectations. It’s okay if you are not clear on them yet. Sometimes therapy can help with exactly that.
At the end if you are happy to we book another appointment and I email you the contract and some short forms to complete.

What to expect from the process

We will meet for as long as you need and as often as you need, whether that’s weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
We will reflect on and explore whatever is relevant to you whether it’s the same topic each time or completely unrelated issues.
I will not judge or dictate your actions, but aim to help you process your feelings, better understand yourself and find a path forward that is right for you.

Who is this option suitable for

  • 18 and over years old individuals
  • People who are unsure if they want to commit to therapy and want to have a taste of what it is about
  • People who only want to talk about a very specific current issue

Fees

  • £60 per session
  • Free initial introductory call
  • Payable at least 24 hours before the session
  • Increases slightly every year in January to account for inflation

Duration of session

50-55 minutes because often revelations come at the end and I feel it’s important to let the client finish their thought
