Being You

I  take the best elements of well-known counselling and psychotherapy models and put them together in a unique, tried and tested approach, called psychotherapeutic counselling. This allows you to help with a range of common human problems whilst developing self-knowledge and understanding.

Often people come to therapy for a specific reason, a life event or some area of difficulty that is troubling them. Or perhaps there is no specific event that you can name but a feeling of being lost or confused, experiencing anxiety or depression. Therapy may be able to help. By offering a non-judgemental empathetic space for clients to explore thoughts and feelings, that can often feel overwhelming, clients can find the clarity, solutions, understanding or peace they are looking for.

Counselling is about talking, exploring your feelings and finding ways to move forward. It can help to make changes to the way you do things and think about things. 

Depending on what you need from your counselling sessions, we can find an approach that suits you. You may just need the space to talk things through, or you may want to tackle more challenging issues such as relationship difficulties, low self esteem, phobias or obsessional behaviour. 

Everyone thinks and reacts differently and by integrating several theories, I can work with each client to use a unique therapy adapted to suit your needs.



Fees

I attempt to keep my fees reasonable, in order to reach as many people as I can.

Initial Assessment - free
Individual Sessions - £30

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and are usually provided on a weekly basis.  The initial agreement is six sessions followed by a review, after which we could negotiate further sessions. 

Once counselling has commenced, missed appointments or cancellations by client incur the full sessional fee - unless 24 hours notice is given.

Absences made by counsellor/psychotherapist are not paid for by client.
