FAQ

You (the patient) and I (the therapist) are two people who come together in therapy. We investigate your current reason for seeking therapy together. We collaborate to achieve your goal for how you would like things to change as a result of therapy using a variety of techniques, and we share responsibility for its success. Although every session is unique, my clients report that therapy has supported them in making positive changes in their lives by helping them understand their circumstances better, grow in their ability to show compassion and acceptance, and do so.

Psychotherapy is more in depth and facilitates long term changes, exploring the past to make sense of the present. Counselling helps support existing personality structures.

Each session takes 50 mins online or face to face.
For Children and Young people sessions are 45 mins.

For the first session payment must be made in advance to secure your booking, for subsequent sessions payment must be made 24 hours prior to the session. Payment needs to be made via bank transfer and I will provide details when I email you confirmation of the appointment.

Therapy is kept private. I must adhere to the BACP’s professional guidelines and code of ethics. As a result, the only circumstances in which I might need to violate confidentiality include safety concerns, imminent danger to life, disclosure of terrorist acts, drug trafficking, or money laundering. I’d always talk it over with you first. ​ I have a supervisor with whom I regularly discuss my clients to ensure that I am acting ethically and in your best interests. Information is made anonymous.
