I offer a free 15 minute introductory telephone call to help you decide whether you would like to work with me.   I will then email you a counselling contract that sets out my terms of practice, including confidentiality.  I am happy to answer any questions or queries before we commence our work together.

In the first session we will review and agree the contract.  We will then complete a therapeutic assessment to identify what has brought you to counselling, what you would like to work on, and the amount of sessions you think you might need.
