Next Steps

Thank you for taking the time to look at my website. Starting counselling can be a daunting experience, especially when you could be feeling anxious and vulnerable. For that reason, if you are interested in starting counselling with me, the information below
clearly sets what happens next.

I offer all of my prospective clients a free thirty-minute initial appointment either by phone or online via zoom. During this initial appointment, you will get a chance to get to know me and ask any questions you may have.

If we agree to proceed with counselling, I will then email you a copy of my counselling contract for you to read prior to our next appointment.

The contract is a document which sets out our counselling agreement, including things such as confidentiality, storing personal data and payment of sessions. You will be required to electronically sign this contract. At our first, full length counselling appointment, I then carry out an assessment in which I ask you some further questions and go through the counselling contract with you.

Please be assured that if you decide not to pursue counselling with me, I will destroy any information provided by you with immediate effect.
