Q+A

How often are sessions?

There’s no hard-and-fast rule, although for individual counselling/therapy, I’d suggest starting off weekly. For coaching and couples counselling, we can discuss and agree suitable frequency of sessions.

Can I “mix and match” face-to-face sessions with online or phone sessions?

Yes this is possible.

Are our sessions confidential?

Yes, everything we talk about is in the strictest confidence, with only a few exceptions:

• if I have strong grounds to believe you are likely to harm yourself or others, in which case I will contact relevant professionals (for example, your GP or the emergency services)
• if I become aware of a very serious crime committed by you, in which case I would be duty-bound to report this to the police

Also, like all therapists, I may discuss my client work with my supervisor. I take care not to reveal personal details, and only ever refer to clients by their first name. My supervisor is also bound by an agreement of confidentiality. 

What happens if I need to cancel a session or I miss a session?

If you need to cancel a session and give me at least 48 hours’ notice, there is no charge. Sessions missed or canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged at the normal fee.
