Perhaps you're wondering if counselling might be helpful for you, and if I could be the right person to walk alongside you. I offer a FREE initial half-hour telephone conversation where you can explore these questions and get a sense of how we might work together.
The duration of our counselling journey is something we can explore together, guided by what feels right for you. You might choose to begin with just a few sessions, and that is absolutely okay. I simply ask that you let me know with a week's notice if you decide that our time together is coming to a close.
I offer in-person sessions at my venue in West Bridgford, covering the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire areas. For those who prefer it, we can also connect online through video conferencing (Zoom), via telephone conversations, or 'walk and talk' in a nearby park, allowing you to choose the way that feels most comfortable and accessible for you.
Each session is typically 50 minutes long, offering a dedicated time for your exploration. However, you are always the best judge of your own needs, and you are welcome to conclude our session at any point that feels right for you.
The investment for each session is £60. However, if you prefer to book lots of 3 or 6 sessions, there will be reduced per-session fees. £55 per session if you book for 3 sessions in advance for a total of £165. £50 per session if you book for 6 sessions in advance for a total of £300. To ensure fairness and respect for our time together, I do ask for at least 24-hour notice if you need to reschedule or cancel, otherwise the full session fee will apply.
Counselling is not an emergency service. If you are feeling actively suicidal, it is important to get help immediately by calling 999 or NHS 111. Other non-emergency support you can call is the Samaritans at 116 123 or text SHOUT to 85258 for text-based support. All services are available 24/7.
