Counselling by telephone and zoom. I offer face to face in your home if you live local to me.

Hello and thank you for taking a look at my profile. To give you an idea if you would like to start working with me, I need to tell you a bit about my training and how we might work together. It can feel quite daunting finding the right therapist at a time when things are a little overwhelming. Be it relationships, work life, past issues, I am here to help you. By looking at my training and experience it may make life a bit easier in choosing what you need.

A little bit about my qualifications and training.

I qualified as a Psychodynamic Counsellor in 2008. I  work open ended and short term focused counselling.                                              I am a qualified relationship counsellor.  I have a certificate in Child Psychology and Motivational Interviewing Technique and I gained my accreditation in 2011.

If you believe that the issues you have now are related to your past, then this may be the kind of counselling that will suit you. Together we can explore and locate where the issue has come from.  We cannot change the past, however, gaining an understanding by being curious about ourselves may help to find a way forward. Every one is unique and so are their issues. If you would like to have an informal chat to see if we could work together, give me a call. 

Firstly a telephone call to talk over what you are looking for and your expectations. After our talk, If you feel you would like to have a think and contact me through email or phone at a later date, that would be fine. It is important that you feel comfortable enough for us to work together. If you feel comfortable, I will send you your contract for you to read though and to sign and send back and you will receive your copy. If you would like your counselling via zoom, then we can make an appointment for an assessment on zoom, or if you prefer telephone counselling we can make a time for an assessment over telephone.  In the assessment, I will be taking some relevant history and we will explore your reasons for wanting counselling and your expectations. This is the time to ask me any questions that are relevant to your counselling. I will send you an invoice a few days before your counselling session and once paid, I will send your Zoom invite.  

When we start sessions, I will expect your phone to be turned off during all sessions. However, if you need to leave your phone on due to an emergency that would be acceptable but please tell me. Please make sure you will not be disturbed and you are in quiet  surroundings. Our sessions would start on the hour and last for 50 minutes. If possible we would have the same time and day every week. However, I understand this is not always possible and I can be flexible.

Couple counselling would be a similar process. However our sessions would last an hour.
