FAQ

What will our counselling sessions look like?


Free telephone consultation: 15 minutes

I offer a free online 15 minute consultation. This is a chance to meet, test the internet connection and answer any questions you might have. There is no commitment to enter into counselling with me. The most important thing is that you find a counsellor you like and feel comfortable with, and I will be happy to help you find the right person.


Intake Appointment: 50 minutes

Our first appointment will give us time to start building a picture of your history and current situation. We will also go through paper work unless you have already completed it. This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.


Ongoing Counselling Appointments: 50 minutes

We will meet 50 minutes per session. In the final ten minutes, we will wind down and schedule our next appointment.


Final Session: 50 minutes

At some point you may feel like taking a break or concluding treatment. 


How many sessions would you recommend?

I would recommend a commitment to 6 sessions once a week initially to begin our work together. However, this can be discussed further and we can plan around your needs.



Where and how do we meet?



It's important you feel safe when working with me


Providing you with a confidential and safe space 

You can decide how we approach counselling.  Your appointments can take place via telephone,  online video software or face to face. All sessions will be confidential and in a safe space whether at the comfort of your own home (telephone/online) or at my comfortable counselling room.


Location

I have a therapy room in the Neath Valley, South Wales.  To find out more please get in touch.


Do we have to meet face to face?

No, you don’t have to meet with me face to face, and we can conduct counselling sessions online via Teams or via telephone.  Please contact me and we can look at the best options to suit you.




What if you need to cancel a session?



There maybe times when you need to cancel your session, what do you need to know?



What is the cancellation policy?

  • You can rearrange or cancel appointments up to 48 hours without incurring any fee before the appointment time. 
  • If you are unable to give 48 hours' notice or you miss the session without giving notice, the full fee will be payable.
