So hopefully you want to take the next step – arranging an informal chat with me to see if I can help you.

Check out my overall availability here but please do call me to confirm up-to-date information – some of my clients stay longer than they’d initially thought and some find that they have what they need – for now – in fewer sessions than expected.

There’s no obligation – just a “getting to know you” conversation so that we are both comfortable enough to make a start. And in the event that what I can offer isn’t right for you at the moment, I’ll explain why and we can talk about other options.

My standard fee (£75 for an hour session) reflects the level of my qualifications, additional training and long experience beyond counselling. I think it’s fair, of course, and is good value. If it’s a real problem for you just now, make the call anyway and we can talk about it – I sometimes have one or two spaces available at a lower fee for students and anyone who’s not earning an income just now.

Sessions are usually at the same time each week, as far as possible for your convenience and each is scheduled for 60 minutes.

Please make the payment when you book your sessions or at the latest on the day of your session, as this keeps my admin time to a minimum so I can offer more sessions.

Cancellations at short notice: If you do have to cancel a session with less than 48 hours’ notice, the fee remains payable as I’m unlikely to be able to arrange to see another client in that time. Your understanding in this is greatly appreciated.

Normal availability:

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays – and Saturday mornings if that’s helpful for you.

The earliest I see clients is 8:30 am and my latest session start time is 6:00 pm. (Saturdays by individual arrangement.)
