​Frequently Asked Questions

What can I talk about in counselling?

You are welcome to talk about anything that’s on your mind. This might include anxiety, low mood, relationships, grief, trauma, identity, self-esteem, or anything that’s affecting your wellbeing. 

Appointments 

I see clients in private practice at The Therapy Rooms, Chippenham, Wiltshire, and also offer online counselling for clients across the UK.

Sessions are 50 minutes weekly,  usually at the same day and time each week designed to provide a consistent and supportive space for personal growth.

Sessions are charged at £55, due weekly on the day of your appointment. 

How do I book a session?

Please contact me initially via email or phone, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to arrange a a brief, no obligation phone call, where we can discuss and plan working together and arrange an initial appointment. 

What happens in the first session?

The first session is a chance to explore what’s brought you to counselling and what you’d like to get from it. You’re under no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to, we’ll go at your pace. 

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a core part of the counselling relationship. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions, which I’ll explain clearly in our first session and in my privacy policy.

How many sessions will I need?
​
That depends on your goals and what you'd like to work on. Some clients attend short-term therapy (6–12 sessions), while others prefer ongoing support. We’ll discuss this in the first session and review things regularly together.
