Frequently Asked Questions

Who comes for counselling?
People who come for counselling are ordinary people who are experiencing life as being painful. This may be due to problems in a relationship, the loss of a loved one, work-related stress, anxiety or perhaps a general sense of unhappiness.

Talking to a trained counsellor is a way of understanding your life and, through this, starting to take responsibility for making different choices.

How long does counselling last?
I offer both short-term and long-term work. The number of sessions will depend on the reasons why you are seeking counselling. Some people come to counselling with very specific issues whilst others come with a more general sense of unease and dissatisfaction.

How much does it cost?
In central London each session costs £50. I charge £40 per session in Kent.

Telephone counselling or counselling via Skype costs £40 per session. All sessions are 50 minutes long and take place on a regular day and time once a week.

A small number of lower cost places may be available. Please contact me for details.

Is counselling confidential?
Counselling is a place of safety and trust. Counselling is confidential.

In line with best counselling practice, I take aspects of my work to a supervisor in order to have another professional perspective. Your anonymity is respected throughout this process.

When do you have appointments?
I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, late afternoons and evenings.
