FAQs

I work with all adults aged 18+.

I don't currently work with children or with couples/families. 

If you're looking for this kind of support, feel free to get in touch and I will do my best to signpost you for suitable support.

We will discuss this in detail when we start working together. 

I'll explain how I will maintain your confidentiality and uphold the ethical standards of the BACP.

The sliding scale is designed to make counselling affordable for people with different financial circumstances. I understand that everyone’s situation is unique, so this approach allows you to receive the support you need without undue financial strain.

If you're in a position to pay closer to £60, it helps to support those who may only be able to afford £40, ensuring I can continue offering flexible rates to all clients.

There's no need to provide proof of income or justify the amount you choose. I trust that you'll select the rate that is right for you, and this is an entirely judgment-free process.

If your financial situation changes over time, you're welcome to adjust the amount you pay. My priority is to provide ongoing support in a way that remains sustainable for both of us.

If you have any questions or concerns about the sliding scale, please feel free to discuss them with me. I want to ensure you feel comfortable with the arrangement.

If you are looking for support in a crisis then here are some suggestions of organisations that you can contact:

• Emergency services, 999 or 111

• Samaritans

• SHOUT

I have experience with both online and in-person therapy, and I believe both methods are equally effective.

Online therapy helps break down various barriers and can eliminate travel time and can fit more easily around your schedule.

It also means I can work with you no matter where you are in the country.

You can receive therapy from the comfort of your own environment.

Counselling is unregulated in the UK, so it's important to find someone who has the requisite training, experience, supervision, and insurance.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am required to evidence my training, supervision, and commitment to professional development.  

Hopefully my website has given you a sense of who I am and how I work. 

Beyond this, the most important factor is whether or not you feel that you can connect, and build a relationship. 

I've been in your shoes and I would honestly say that this is a 'gut feeling'.
