Counselling & Psychotherapy in
Edinburgh and Online via Zoom
“Between stimulus and response there is a space
In that space is our power to choose our response
In our response lies our growth and our freedom”
(Viktor Frankl)
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at the initial appointment?
I offer a free 20-30 minute chat on the phone. This is an opportunity for us to speak to each other, to explore your expectations of counselling, and to consider how we may best work together. It is also a chance for you to ask any questions or discuss any anxieties you may have about counselling, and to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you.
How much will it cost?
Each counselling session costs £60. I also offer a prepaid block of eight sessions at a time for £440 with a review after each block.
How often do I need to come?
Counselling sessions are usually weekly on the same day and at the same time each week.
How long is each session?
Each weekly counselling session is fifty minutes long.
How long will I have to come for?
There is no right answer to this. Everyone is different and it depends on your individual needs. Some people find that short term work of just eight sessions is right for them at that moment in time. Others value the ongoing support offered by longer term counselling over several months or years. We will regularly review the counselling and work towards an ending when it feels appropriate for you.
Is it confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is fundamental to counselling. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions which I will explain during our initial appointment.
How do I pay?
You can pay by bank transfer or cash.
What happens if I can't make a session?
I require 48 hours notice of cancellation.
Do you work with couples or children?
I do not work with couples or children. I offer one-to-one counselling with individual adults aged eighteen or over.
