Appointments & fees

 

You can see me for counselling in a comfortable and discrete office in central Basingstoke, or online by video call from wherever you are.

In-person appointments in Basingstoke are usually on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays. Other times and days may be available, though, so please contact me for current availability.

I work with individual adults (18+) only, not children, couples or families. Sessions are fifty minutes long and usually once a week, although more or less often can also work well. We’ll discuss this in our first session.

Fees and the first session

The fee is £55 for fifty minutes. Your initial appointment will be a full fifty minute session and is at a reduced rate of £30.

At the initial session we’ll discuss whatever feels important to you and I can answer any questions. Hopefully this session will give you a good idea of what counselling with me will be like, then if you decide you would like to continue counselling, we can arrange to meet again.

Usually we can continue counselling for as long as you feel it is worthwhile. For some people just a few sessions is sufficient, while others might come for longer. We’ll talk regularly about how it’s going but you can of course end counselling at any time.

Check out my blog for some thoughts on what you can expect in your first session. For more information on confidentiality, please see my confidentiality and privacy statement.

Online counselling

Online counselling is available by video call using a platform such as Zoom. Appointments can be at various times throughout the week. The fees and length of sessions are the same as for in-person counselling (see above). There’s some more information about privacy and confidentiality in online counselling here. If you have any questions or would like more details, please get in touch.
