Session details
The purpose of our first meeting is to meet and agree on the focus of the work and any issues that may get in the way. We agree our working plan. Following this I typically work on a weekly basis for an agreed period of time for a 50 minute session. For couples I generally work at mutually convenient times for a two hour session.
Many people feel stuck in their situations when they initially come to meet with me; our work is then to create new ways of understanding and addressing situations, even when the circumstances might seem very limiting.
I also offer telephone counselling and online counselling. My fees vary depending on location and time of day. I offer a few concession to those on lower incomes and students. A therapy session is typically weekly and lasts 50 minutes, and for couples tends to be a double session.
I try to build in flexiblity to meet the needs and limits of the particularities of our work together.
