Frequently asked questions

How often do we meet?
Weekly sessions are often most effective, however I work flexibly to meet your specific needs.

Is it confidential?  

Yes. I attend regular supervision which is a legal requirement for all practising counsellors. My supervisor and I abide by BACP's ethical guidelines for respecting client confidentiality.

Where will we meet? 

In Lewes, I work from my home. In London, I work from a counselling practice at Tooley street, London Bridge.

How long will I need to be in counselling for?

This will vary from person to person. I usually make an  agreement to meet for six weekly sessions following which we can decide on how many sessions may be needed or leave it open ended. 

How do I start?

Our initial session will give you  the opportunity to see how you feel with me and whether you would like us to work together.  We will discuss what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve by coming. I will also ask you questions about yourself and your history.

Do you have a cancellation policy?
Your appointments are important as they are a commitment to yourself.  If you need to cancel, please let me know 24 to 48 hours ahead of our session, if not the full fee will be payable. 

How much are session fees?

£65 - sessions are 50 to 60 minutes. I can offer a sliding scale depending on your financial situation.
