Before committing to any counselling sessions I suggest an initial session. This gives an opportunity for you ask questions, to discuss what you would like to get from counselling, how I can support you and to see if you would like to go ahead. An initial meeting will last up to 50 minutes.

Initial face to face session £25
Initial online session £25

I provide my bank details prior to the start of counselling, and ask that payment is made by bank transfer before each session.

What about Covid-19?

The counselling rooms I work from have been risk assessed and are cleaned after each client session.

I can provide a clear visor in the counselling room to those clients who prefer to continue to protect their face.

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

If you are uncertain about taking the first step, I am happy to offer a free, informal and confidential chat on the phone.

I will listen to what you would like to get from counselling and if I feel I am unable to help you I can refer to you another counsellor or service that might be better suited to meet your needs.

Where do you work?

Morley is 10km south-west of Leeds city centre, and surrounded by Gildersome, Drighlington and Churwell.

Cleckheaton is 5 miles south from central Bradford, and surrounded by Gomeral, Birstall, Oakenshaw and Birkenshaw.

Online via video conferencing - I use Zoom and work from my office.

Who can access my service?

Referrals can be made by individuals; GP’s; employers and local services.

Do you work with trainee counsellors and student counsellors?

Yes, and I offer fee concessions for trainee and student counsellors - please get in touch for a chat.

I understand from first hand experience the demands on a student counsellor.

How do I know sessions are confidential?

I am bound ethically to provide a confidential service. I will not discuss what you talk about in our sessions with anyone else.

As part of my ethical commitment to my profession I attend monthly supervision. My supervisor also works in a confidential setting. I may discuss client work at supervision however I will not give my supervisor any identifying client information.

If I believe someone is in danger of serious harm I may need to break confidentiality in accordance with the BACP ethical framework, this would be discussed with client and supervisor.

How many sessions will I need?

Every client is different and individual. Some will stay for a couple of sessions and some much longer term - for weeks or months. There is no right or wrong, or set format. We can discuss together what may help you, and regularly review your progress.

When are you available?

I work day times and evenings, and with mutual agreement can offer some weekends. I am usually able to offer a convenient time within a week of an enquiry, please ask.

I have other questions - please can you help?

Yes, please feel free to contact me for an informal chat.
