What to expect in sessions

Starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure what the process involves.
I aim to make things as clear, supportive, and unpressured as possible.

Step 1: Initial contact
You’re welcome to email or call to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity to make initial contact and see whether working together might feel right.

Step 2: First conversation
We’ll have a short, informal conversation about what’s been bringing you to counselling. You can ask any questions you may have, and we can think together about whether this approach feels suitable for you.

Step 3: First session
If you decide to go ahead, we’ll arrange an initial session, either face-to-face in Epsom or Banstead, or online across the UK. This first session gives you space to see how it feels to talk together, without any obligation to continue.

Step 4: Ongoing weekly sessions
If we continue, sessions usually take place at the same time each week. There is no fixed time limit, we work at a pace that feels right for you, for as long as you find the sessions helpful.

Fees
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £65. Payment is made weekly by cash, card, or bank transfer.
