Our first session

This would be an assessment (after the free introduction session) where we go through basic information and gather some history, I would also go through things like confidentiality, and agreement ( information about data protection, length of session etc). These will be sent out to you via email prior to our first session so you would know what was going to be asked beforehand.

Currently, I am offering counselling over the phone or online, if online I will send you a link prior to our appointment. It is worth testing this a little bit before our session, if possible, to make sure it works, and that you have a good Wi-Fi connection. Please make sure you are in a confidential safe space.

If a telephone appointment, please make sure that you are able to answer your phone, that you are in a confidential, safe space and are able to talk comfortably for the session.

Please do not take calls when you are driving or in a public place. This is for your own safety and confidentiality.

Ways of paying

I do ask for payment 24 hours prior to counselling sessions this can be done by bank transfer. Details of this will be sent to you by e-mail prior to the session. If payment is not received within this time the session will be cancelled. If clients are experiencing financial difficulties, then please do contact me to discuss this beforehand to avoid cancellation. 48-hour notice is required for cancelling a session
