The Practical Side
First Contact
If you feel like counselling might be for you, please contact me - I aim to respond within 24 hours during weekdays.
We can arrange a time that is convenient for you to have a 15 minute conversation online or over the phone, free of charge.
For me, this is an opportunity to get rough idea of what you might be looking for.
We can discuss the available slots, fees, and procedures in this call, so you have all the information you need.
You can take as much time as you need after our call to let everything settle, there is no commitment at this point.
Initial Consultation
If you decide that you might like to get a feeling for what working together would be like, we will schedule an initial consultation.
This will take place in person, online, or via phone, depending on what method you would want to go forward with.
The initial consultation lasts 50 minutes, just like ongoing sessions will.
You can bring any questions, concerns or expectations to this session and we have the chance to explore them together.
This gives us a chance to see whether working together feels right.
Ongoing Sessions
Should you decide that you would like to work with me, we will start meeting at a dedicated time each week.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and missed sessions are payable, to reflect the commitment that we are both making to your therapeutic process and to this dedicated space that is being held for you.
If you have a timeframe in mind, we can work together for that time. Otherwise, the work is open-ended and we keep meeting until you feel that you would like to be coming to a close. In this case, we would work towards an ending together.
Sessions are paid via bank transfer, based on a monthly invoice I provide for the previous month’s sessions.
