How does counselling work?

Counselling invites you to slow down and reflect on what is going on. When we feel truly heard and seen, our capacities for awareness, self-compassion and change expands. Within the confidential and empathic counselling relationship, we can build confidence and trust to explore present and past difficulties in order to bring to light patterns of thinking and feeling that may be holding us back. It’s important to find an experienced professional like myself, with whom you feel comfortable to do this work of self-discovery and healing. I am committed to working with my clients in a collaborative way. This means I walk alongside you, at your own pace, on your deeply personal and unique healing journey to release past burdens and find wellness, renewed vitality and joy.

What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?

Counselling can be short-term and focussed on behavioural changes. Psychotherapy normally requires longer-term work, 6 months or a year or longer and aims for deeper changes in core beliefs and personality traits that may be holding you back.

How often and how much?

Initially I offer one free session for you to see if you would feel comfortable working with me and to discuss what brings you to counselling. After this session, I usually recommend agreeing to work together for ten sessions, on a weekly basis usually at the same time. Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £50.
