Questions
What happens during the first counselling session?
The initial session allows you to assess compatibility with our counsellor while discussing your needs. It includes a review of your background and goals, with no obligation to commit to further sessions.
Is online counselling as effective as in-person sessions?
Research shows online therapy can be equally effective for many issues. We use secure Whereby platforms to maintain confidentiality while offering flexibility for clients unable to attend in person.
How much do counselling sessions cost?
Individual sessions cost £55, couples £80, and supervision £60 per hour. Payments are made via electronic transfer in advance of each session.
What therapeutic approaches are used?
We primarily use person-centred therapy, integrating mindfulness and attachment theory. This combination addresses emotional blocks while respecting each client's unique life context and experiences.
Can counselling help with anxiety and depression?
Yes. Our approach helps clients understand anxiety triggers and break negative thought cycles. For depression, we focus on reconnecting with personal values and rebuilding daily functioning through gradual, supported changes.
