How do I know if counselling will work for me?
Counselling is very individual and works for different people in different ways. I offer a free telephone consultation for an initial chat so that you can see if you think I might be the right counsellor for you. After that the next step would be to book in an initial session to give counselling a try.
How many sessions would I need?
I offer short-term or long-term counselling, and we keep a focus on what you need at regular review sessions so that counselling lasts as long as it needs to. I have no lower or upper limits, and everyone is different in what they need.
Do you offer face-to-face or remote sessions?
I believe counselling works better face-to-face so that’s what I currently offer, but I offer telephone sessions for current clients when it’s not possible to attend in person.
When and for how long?
I offer counselling on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sessions last 50 minutes and would usually be at the same time each week after your initial session.
How much are sessions?
Daytime sessions are £50 and evening and weekend sessions are £60, payable by BACS.
I can’t afford that, do you offer any reductions?
Yes, I have some reduced rate spaces for those on a low income and students on current counselling courses. I keep a waiting list for these places.
Where will I come for my sessions?
Sessions take place in my counselling room at the Shaftesbury Centre in Rodbourne in central Swindon.
There is free parking in the public car park immediately behind the building. My counselling room is on the 2nd floor, accessible by either lift or stairs.
