What to Expect
What to Expect from the First Session
It's important to find the right counsellor for you. I offer a no-cost initial 30-minute consultation either face-to-face or online. You can contact me by email, telephone, WhatsApp or text message to set this up. If we decide to work together, we will then have a longer 60-minute assessment session, charged at the normal session rate.
During our initial consultation, well talk about what's going on for you and I'll explain how I work. You can then take some time to think about whether you'd like to work together. If you decide to work together, I'll send you a copy of my contract. The next session will be an assessment session and we'll talk about your goals and what you hope to get out of therapy. We might also start exploring what's been holding you back.
Counselling sessions last 60 minutes and are usually weekly, but we can discuss your needs. I work mainly face-to-face, but may be able to offer online sessions occasionally, or for accessibility needs.
I work from a therapy room in my home in Sheffield. It's warm, light, and offers a calm, private space. If you have sensory needs, let me know, and I'll make adjustments. Please note, the room is only accessible via stairs due to the house being Victorian. If you have mobility needs, contact me to explore alternative options like online sessions or a different location.
