ABOUT THE SESSIONS
I offer a service that is personal, professional, affordable & LGBTQIA+ affirming. I provide counselling over the phone, online (Google Meet / Zoom), face-to-face or home visits in Harlow & the surrounding areas. Sessions last for 50 minutes and typically take place every week at an agreed time & place, although a more flexible schedule can be arranged. I also offer shorter check-in sessions via phone, which last for 30 minutes and can be CBT based. I offer short-term therapy of 6-12 sessions, or open-ended to allow you as little or as much time as you need. You are free to end counselling whenever you feel ready to. All sessions remain confidential with limitations, which will be discussed with you during our first session.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Once you have contacted me, we will arrange a suitable time to hold our initial meeting. This is a free appointment over the phone that lasts for up to 30-minutes and allows us to get a feel for one another and discuss working together. You may wish to ask some questions or explain your presenting issue and if you're happy to proceed we will then organise future sessions. In our first session, we will take time for more in-depth introductions, assessment and contracting where we outline the terms of the counsellor-client agreement (this can be emailed to you for telephone/online sessions). After this, the space is yours to talk about whatever it is that you want to bring to the sessions.

MONEY MATTERS
Fees are payable via cash or bank transfer usually on the day of your session. In some instances, I may ask for payment to be made prior to the start of your session, as confirmation of attendance. A reminder may be sent up to 48 hours beforehand.
I believe that counselling should be available and affordable for all. I therefore offer concessionary rates for students & senior citizens, as well as discounts for those on a low-income or in receipt of state benefits. Please do get in touch to discuss these fee options.
CANCELLATION POLICY
It is understandable that sometimes the unexpected can happen and you may need to cancel your appointment. If this is the case please do let me know as soon as possible so that we can rearrange your session.
Any cancellations made within 24 hours of a face-to-face session may require a £10 cancellation fee, unless under exceptional circumstances. Cancellations made after an advance payment can either be refunded or held for the next session. This will be arranged between us.
