Frequently asked questions.
How often do we meet?
Counselling sessions take place weekly, typically on the same day and time. Sessions last 50 minutes (the ‘therapy hour’).
Where do we meet?
We meet in my private therapy room in central Eastbourne. This is located on the first floor of a chiropractic clinic in central Eastbourne. There is a waiting room and access to toilets. There is no on-site parking. Nearest car parks are at Hyde Gardens or the Enterprise Centre which is about a 5 minute walk.
Do you work on line?
Yes I do, using Zoom or MS Teams. Sessions remain weekly on the agreed day and time.
Do you offer an introductory phone call?
I offer a reduced rate introductory session charged at £40. Clients find this a more helpful way to get to know me and for both of us to have a full 50 minutes to understand what brings you to therapy, how I can help, and whether we are right for each other.
Do you see people fortnightly?
I am open to a conversation about frequency. My preference is to meet new clients weekly for the first 6 sessions and to then review. Therapy is a commitment in terms of time and cost. To meet less often may affect progress, though I do understand issues of affordability. I would rather people get the help they need rather than not at all.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person depending on their needs. I ask that you commit to an initial six sessions and then review. During this time we get to know each other much better. Following this the timing is open-ended.
What will it cost?
Counselling fees are £65 per session payable by bank transfer weekly or monthly in advance. Fees are reviewed annually.
Do you offer concessions?
I offer concessions for counsellors in training. I hold some spaces for the low waged.
Do you charge for cancellations?
Your session time and day is reserved for you. If you cancel within 48 hours of your agreed session fees are not refundable. If you need to change the time of a session that happens in the same week then a cancellation fee is not applied.
Do you work with children or young adults?
I work with adults aged 18 and over. I am not trained to work with anyone younger than 18.
Do you offer Couples Counselling?
I am not a couples counsellor.
