The Initial Free Counsultation is an opportunity to find out a little more about each other before deciding to go ahead and for you to consider if I will be the right fit for you.
I provide a limited number of spaces for those on low-income or for students; contact me to enquire about availability.
If you need to cancel an appointment I require 48 hours’ notice; otherwise you will still need to pay for any sessions missed. I accept payment by bank transfer.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
All enquires are usually answered within 48 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
