What happens next

After you get in touch, I’ll usually offer an introductory call. This can take place by telephone or video and gives us an opportunity to briefly talk about what has brought you to counselling and to arrange an initial consultation if you would like to go ahead.

The initial consultation is a 50-minute session and the fee is £65 for individuals and £120 for couples. Depending on what we agree, this can take place online or face-to-face in either Winchester or Basingstoke.

This first session is slightly different from ongoing counselling. It’s an opportunity for us to get a sense of whether we feel comfortable working together and for me to understand a little more about you, your history, what’s brought you to counselling at this point, and what you might hope to gain from it. I may ask more direct questions than I ordinarily would in subsequent sessions.

At the end, we can think together about whether continuing feels right. If we are both happy to go ahead, we can then agree a regular time for your counselling sessions.

You can pay for sessions by SumUp, bank transfer or cash.

Should you need to cancel your initial consultation, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice prior to your scheduled appointment time. Cancellations made after this point will be charged at the full session fee.
