Frequently asked questions
How do I arrange an initial consultation?
You can either email me or call me on my mobile to arrange a meeting at the earliest, mutually convenient time. Please note that my mobile will be switched off or onto silent when I am with clients. If you leave a message I will return your call at the earliest opportunity.

What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy.
Counselling and psychotherapy are both ‘talking therapies’ with no real definitive distinction between them. Generally speaking however, counselling focuses more on current issues in a person’s life and can therefore be helpful in fewer sessions. Psychotherapy tends to deal more with deep seated issues from the past which continue to affect a person in the present and can take longer to work through.
How many counselling/psychotherapy sessions will I require?
Every individual is different and the number of sessions
for each person will therefore vary. Some people find a few sessions are all that they need, whereas others value more long term support. We will regularly review your therapy as it
progresses.
How often are the counselling/psychotherapy sessions held?
Sessions are usually held weekly on a set day and time agreed by both parties. However, I will see people fortnightly, especially as the end of the
therapeutic period grows near.
