If you would like to discuss whether therapy is the right step for you, please call or email me to see how I can help. You might have specific questions about my approach. I’m happy to talk through any questions you have so that you feel comfortable if you decide to work with me.

How long do sessions last?
Sessions are normally 50 minutes. Sometimes it can be helpful to arrange a 90- minute session, depending on your specific problems.
How many sessions will I need?
The amount of sessions will depend mostly on you. Therapy can be long-term or short-term. The duration differs for each individual and depends on your circumstances but may include a fixed number of sessions or be open-ended stretching into a longer period.
You might want to start with six to twelve sessions in mind, which we will review together. Complex or long-standing issues might benefit from more time. We will decide together when the sessions will end.

Where and when will the counselling take place?
I work from therapy rooms in Haywards Heath (RH16) and Hove (BN3). Sessions will normally be at the same time on a weekly basis.
What will happen in your first session?
On first meeting I will ask you some basic details such as your home address, contact email / billing address, GP address and any involvement in mental health services.
In order to keep yourself safe – I will also ask that you use local urgent response services out of hours.

How do I pay?
For the initial short session (£20), I ask that you pay in advance via BACS. Any subsequent sessions can be paid session by session either in cash or by BACS. I will keep your personal information safe in bank-level security and will not pass this on to anyone.
If we agree to BACS payment, I ask that you transfer payment by BACS before sessions commence.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
A cancellation period of 48 hours is needed to reschedule an appointment. Missed or cancelled appointments (within 48 hours notice), whatever the reason, are charged for because it can be difficult to rebook these to other people.
I am an integrative Psychotherapist, which means I can incorporate a number of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, solution focussed and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
