Online, Telephone and In-Person Counselling

​

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, whether you've never spoken to a counsellor before or are returning to therapy after some time away. Whatever has brought you here, you're welcome to explore support at a pace that feels right for you.

Choose the Option That Feels Right for You

You might be feeling:

  • Unsure whether counselling is right for you

  • Anxious about talking to someone new

  • Emotionally overwhelmed

  • Unsure where to begin

  • Worried that your problems aren't "serious enough"

 

These thoughts and feelings are more common than you might think.

Whether you choose to meet online, by telephone or in person, you'll be offered a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly at your own pace.

​

People come to counselling for many different reasons, including anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties, life changes, identity concerns, or simply because something doesn't feel quite right. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone. Counselling can provide the time and space to explore what's happening, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Free 15-Minute Introductory Call

Free | 15 mins

Phone | Video Call

A free, informal conversation to help you decide whether counselling feels right for you.

 

This call gives you the opportunity to:

  • briefly talk about what’s bringing you to therapy

  • ask questions about counselling

  • understand how I work

  • see whether we feel like a good fit

 

There is no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards.

 

This option can feel helpful if you are:

  • new to therapy

  • feeling nervous about starting

  • unsure what kind of support you need

  • wanting to ask practical questions first

Initial Assessment

Phone | Video Call

£50 | 50mins

In Person

£60 | 50mins

Your initial consultation and assessment is an opportunity for us to begin understanding what has brought you to counselling and whether working together feels like the right fit.

 

During the session, we may explore:

  • What has led you to seek support at this time

  • How your thoughts, feelings or experiences are affecting your day-to-day life

  • Any challenges, worries or patterns that are impacting your wellbeing

  • Your relationships, work or other areas of life that feel important

  • What you hope to gain from counselling

 

This is also your opportunity to experience what counselling with me is like, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether you would like to continue with ongoing sessions.

There is no expectation to have everything worked out before you begin. You only need to come as you are, and we'll take things one step at a time.

What Happens After the Initial Assessment?

Ongoing counselling offers a confidential and supportive space to explore whatever is affecting your wellbeing. Together, we may work through:

  • Anxiety, stress or low mood

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Life changes and identity

  • Burnout and emotional overwhelm

  • Unhelpful patterns or ways of coping

  • Greater self-understanding and personal growth

 

Some people come to counselling for a relatively short period to work through a specific difficulty, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper emotional patterns and create lasting change.

 

Sessions are typically:

  • 50 minutes

  • Weekly or fortnightly

  • Available online, by telephone or in person

 

There is no obligation to continue after your initial consultation and assessment. Counselling works best when you feel comfortable, supported and able to decide what feels right for you.

 

Online & Telephone Counselling: £60 per 50-minute session
In-Person Counselling: £75 per 50-minute session

What Happens After You Book?

Once you book:

  • you’ll receive confirmation of your appointment

  • you’ll have space to talk confidentially and at your own pace

 

There is no expectation to share everything immediately. Therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe and able to move at a pace that feels manageable for you.
