FAQs

If your question isn’t answered here please ask me using my contact page.

  • How does counselling work?
    • Counselling offers a safe place to offload, with no judgement or advice. You are given space and time to find the right answers for you. A different perspective can be discovered to give you better understanding. All is done at your pace with no expectations from you.
  • How do I know if I need counselling?
    • Do what feels right for you? I can offer a free 15 minute chat on the phone to see if you feel I am the right therapist for you. It is known that for therapy to be beneficial, the therapist and client relationship is so important.
  • How much will it cost?
  • Do you come to me or do I come to you?
    • I have a dedicated garden therapy room in Brackley. However, if medical reasons prevent you from visiting me please get in touch,
  • Will you keep what I say confidential?
    • Yes, although if you are in any danger or harm I would have to break this confidentiality. This would be done with you and I would not do anything without your knowledge where possible. Legal reasons for breaking confidentiality are if you disclose information on terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering.
  • How long does each session last?
    • Normally 50 mins. However, we may decide that this is not the right session length for you. We can decide together what feels best for you to get the most out of the sessions.
  • How often should I have sessions?
    • It is best to have weekly sessions, especially to begin with. This enables us to build a therapeutic relationship together. This can be discussed and collaboratively worked out to find the best for you.
  • Can I have counselling online or over the phone?
    • I can offer online counselling using zoom. I will issue you with your own personal zoom invite to ensure safety online for your session. I do not offer telephone counselling. Many therapists do, so please keep looking for the right therapist for you.
  • How do I book and do you have availability?
    • I do get booked up pretty quickly so it is always best to act early. Use the email form or phone number on my contact page. If you leave your details I will get back to you as soon as I can.
