How does the counselling process work?
I offer a free 30-minute assessment over the phone to see if we are a good fit. You can ask me anything you want and I will talk through how my approach to counselling works. This process is about you, the client, getting what you need from the relationship we will build together.
How often do I see you?
We can meet weekly, fortnightly or book as and when sessions as I appreciate life cannot always be planned.
Where do we meet?
I have experience working over the phone, online using teams/skype or face to face, led by your preference. I have a private office based in Burbage, LE10.
How does counselling help? What if it doesn’t work?
Counselling can help people by giving you a safe, non judgement place to talk about any issues you want to bring. We will talk in the assessment a bit about this to see what your thoughts are before you proceed, you are always in control of the process. If we agree to work together and you feel things are not working we can talk about this, together, and find some next steps that are the right thing for you. You will always be at the centre of our work together.
I need help immediately, can you help?
