Although the terms counselling and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between psychotherapy and counselling. Counselling is usually more short-term than therapy. It may be focused around one issue for which you need to gain greater understanding of and ways of coping with. Psychotherapy is more long-term than counselling and focuses on a broader range of issues, the work often includes improving self awareness and understanding our experiences and relationships and how they inform us at a deeper level.

The number of sessions needed will vary from person to person so this will need depend on your individual needs. I can offer you both long or short term therapy and can adapt how we work to accommodate this. Short term therapy can be beneficial for finding coping strategies, managing lifestyle changes and other minor issues. Long term therapy is more beneficial for deeper rooted issues. I will regularly review how therapy is going with you, usually every 6 sessions, to ensure it is helpful and effective.

I know from my experience of working with clients to date, that my therapeutic approach works best when my clients attend a regular weekly appointment. Therefore, the majority of my clients reserve the same appointment time each week and I hold that space for them. This reflects a commitment both to the process of therapy and a valuing of themselves in prioritising their own needs.

If you are unable to attend an appointment I request 48 hours notice, as per my cancellation policy (stated in our signed Counselling Agreement). Therefore, if you did not give the required notice the full appointment fee would be payable unless there is an extreme un-foreseen circumstance preventing you from being able to attend.

Due to my preferred way of working with clients being on the same time and day each week (which enables me to provide the most effective therapy), I am not able to accommodate repeated missed appointments. I do ask that you are willing to make the required commitment of regular attendance from the outset.

Yes, I do offer online therapy sessions for those who prefer the convenience of meeting virtually. These sessions are conducted through a secure video platform to ensure your privacy and confidentiality. Online therapy can be a great fit if:

• You have a busy schedule and need the flexibility of remote sessions
• You live outside of the area or can't easily travel
• You feel more comfortable attending sessions from the privacy of your own space

All you will need is a reliable internet connection, a quiet spot, and a device with a camera and microphone.

I offer daytime appointments and have limited evening slots available to accommodate different schedules. If you’re interested in booking a session, I encourage you to get in touch with me directly to discuss the specific days and times that work best for you.
