Frequently asked questions
The How long does counselling last?
It could be short term, 6-12 weeks or longer term, ending when you feel ready to leave counselling.
How long does each session last?
50 minutes for individuals and 1 hour for couples. Sessions begin at the time booked and always end on time.
How much will it cost?
I feel passionately about counselling/psychotherapy being accessable to as many people as possible and endeavour to keep my fees as reasonable and affordable as I can. I am also able to offer some limited spaces at a negotiable fee for those on a low income so please do enquire.
An initial consultation is £30 and then my fees are £40 -£45 negotiable per session for individuals and £55 for couples. As I am mainly working online at this time I have been able to reduce my fees to £35 for individuals and £50 for couples.
