Initial consultation

As the relationship between you and I is the most important aspect of counselling, I offer an initial consultation, in which we can discuss what has brought you here, whether I think I can help and whether we both feel that we are a good fit for each other. This consultation is free of charge, but spaces are limited to particular times each week.

If you have access needs, please check the contact page, or feel free to get in touch for further information or to offer comments/ suggestions.

Practicalities

  • I work with adults and young people aged 16+ years.

  • I work in person only and sessions are generally at the same time each week.

  • Costs are £50 for 50mins 9am-4.50pm, or £60 outwith this.

  • Sessions are invoiced at the end of the month, or by agreement.

  • Limited concessionary places may be avaiable to those on benefits, or those I have previously counselled in Third Sector spaces. An alternative list of low cost counselling in Edinburgh can be found here, but there may be long waiting lists, or a limit on the number of sessions available.

Endings

Endings can be difficult, but ending openly and reflectively can be very healing. Ideally, we would plan our ending together and give ourselves time to reflect on the work done and the way ahead.

If you are experiencing difficulties in the process, whether these are emotional, or financial, please discuss these with me, as often these difficulties can be worked through.

However, you reserve the right to end anytime, without explanation.
