Specialist Relationship Therapy & Counselling
A Flexible Approach to Your Sessions
As someone who regularly sees the benefits of counselling for clients, I believe that having fulfilment and happiness in life is much too important to leave to chance or the hope that maybe things will change in time.
If you'd like to give it a try but don't know if you want to commit, that's fine. I offer an optional three-step process to all my prospective clients. All you need to do is email me to find out how I can help you.
Most clients see me for sessions booked weekly/fortnightly at a regular time over a period of weeks or months. I typically recommend an initial commitment to 6 hour-long sessions following the assessment and this may be enough for you. Many clients choose to continue with additional sessions - regularly over a period of months or just every now & again. We discuss what will work best for you at the assessment and keep things under review as we go.
Appointments are available weekdays and evenings, start times between 10am & 6pm (all subject to availability). I try where possible to take a flexible approach to scheduling to support people for whom a regular 'same-time-each-week' commitment is difficult, but this cannot always be accommodated.
