Who do I work with?
I offer counselling to anyone over the age of 18 who feels that face to face talking therapy could benefit them. I also offer telephone and online sessions.
Availabilty
I currently have availability on Monday to Thursday evenings for in-person counselling, telephone or online sessions – contact me to arrange a suitable time.
Location
My consultancy room is on Church Road in central Hove, accessible via several bus routes and with lots of on-street parking nearby
Referrals
If you would like to find out more, please email me letting me know what is the best way to get in touch with you.
We can then arrange an initial 15 minute telephone call for you to gain a sense of me, ask questions about how I work, explore your expectations and hopes for counselling and decide if you think we could work together.
If you feel like I am a good fit for what you are looking for, we would agree to meet for our first 50 minute appointment.
In our first session we will discuss any previous experience of counselling you may have had, and what you may/may not have found helpful.
We will explore your expectations for our work together and identify the main areas of your life that you would like support with.
We will look at your support network and current coping mechanisms and anything else you could put in place to help you to feel supported during the counselling process.
We would arrange to meet on a regular day and time and agree when we will review our work together so that you feel fully in control of the situation and whether it is meeting your expectations.
Pricing and Payment
Payment will be in advance of each of our sessions via bank transfer or my online payment system.
My hourly rate is £55. Concessions can be agreed on request.
Accountability
I meet on a regular basis with a clinical supervisor and I adhere to the BACP’s ethical framework for safe practice.
Confidentiality
You have the right to expect complete confidentiality during our work together. I will keep minimal notes about our interactions in accordance with GDPR and do not disclose your details to anyone.
If I have a safeguarding concern regarding a child, potential terrorism or if you or someone else is likely to suffer serious harm I will aim to gain your consent before sharing the necessary information.
