Counselling FAQs
How do I book an appointment?
Contact me and we'll arrange a time to talk over the phone so you can ask me any questions you might have. We'll use this time to establish if I'm the best therapist for you. We can then agree a time that suits you for our sessions to start.
How much does counselling cost?
I charge £50 per session and I also offer a 90 minute session for £65. Family sessions are £75 per session and I allow 90 minutes for this as there are more voices to be heard.
