I would like more information.
I offer 15 minutes free consultation
What's the first session like?
It's important to go at a pace you're comfortable with, so we can tread carefully or dive right in. The first session generally consists of a discussion around your reasons for therapy, then I will discuss the process and what your expectations are. We will also discuss some background information, including confidentiality and data protection.
Are session confidential?
Yes- however, some information may need to be disclosed if there is a risk to you or others.
Is my information ever shared with others?
Because therapists are committed to your privacy, providing personal information is uncommon, however there may be times when information is disclosed, such as legal reasons or if you or someone else is in danger.
How long is each session?
Session are for 50 minutes once a week.
How long is a course of therapy?
Therapy can be long or short term, but it is recommended to continue meeting your therpist for regular check-ins, as an ongoing arrangement.
Can I end my therapy?
Yes if you feel it is not for you. It is impirtant that you find a therapist that you are comfortable talking to.
How Do Online Therapy Sessions Work?
A client communicates with their therapist through video, audio, live chat, or a combination of these contact methods during online therapy sessions. Once connected, the counselling session is performed in the same manner as if it were conducted in person.
Do you do home visits?
In some circumstances, I will visit you at home, however, it is best to meet in a neutral space or online.
Can I have someone with me in my sessions?
Unfortunately not, unless it is for family and couple therapy. Therapy is private and a chance for you to open up without worrying if someone hearing.
​
Why am I asked for my GP's details?
Therapists ask for your doctor's contact information in the uncommon case that you have a medical emergency while in treatment. In the event of a psychological or emotional emergency, your therapist will ask for your consent to contact your primary care physician for your safety and/or well-being.
Can I contact my counselor when I am in crisis?
Your therapist will only be available at the time of your scheduled meeting. In the event of an emergency, other options are available. If required, contact your doctor, the Samaritans (116 123, www.samaritans.org), or emergency services.
