The first step is always the hardest... but you'll never regret it

We all need a bit of help from others from time to time.  Coming to therapy is  a real strength, not a weakness, but I understand that it's a very brave thing to do.  We'll take is slow in your first, introductory session. 

I offer a free initial consultation so that you can find out more about counselling with me and what that means.  I'll ask what brought you to therapy and I will need to ask you a few questions about how you're feeling (i.e. a very short assessment) and your goals for therapy. I'll tell you about the way I work with you and how the first priority is about making sure you that feel able to express your feelings first and foremost. I'll explain my thoughts as to what else could help, but you'll be in the driving seat about which way we go - I'll never force you down any path you don't want to.

We'll also talk about the admin side, and if you then think you'd like to continue therapy with me, we can book the first session which is charged at £45 an hour (concessions available).
