I find it more helpful to think of counselling as a way of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. There is no set of instructions or a checklist when it comes to talking therapy. Drawing upon concepts from spiritual myth and philosophy, I work on the belief that whatever it is that we are experiencing at any time, is here to teach us not only something about ourselves, but is also an opportunity to reconnect to our true self, and our true nature.

I have found that only through returning to the Self are we then able to grow and connect meaningfully with others. In a session, this might include using psychodynamic theory to explore your earlier experiences, or the person-centred approach to explore your feelings in the present moment.

The fee for each counselling session is £60.

Fees are payable on the day of the session, via direct bank transfer. The fee will also be charged for a missed session without 48 hours notice.

In the first session we will establish the counselling contract (agreement). This includes details such as limits to confidentiality, GDPR and privacy notice, time, place and number of sessions, boundaries, and expectations for counselling. You have the opportunity to ask questions at any time.

We will then spend the rest of the session exploring what has brought you to seek counselling.

This is up to you.

Counselling therapy does, however, require a level of commitment and time investment into the process: it is not a quick fix!

We will begin with a block of 6 sessions, at the end of which we will review our work together. We then have the option to end, or to continue with further sessions.

We have access to a ground floor counselling room at both the Hereford and Cardiff locations. The Hereford space has an accessible toilet and front door. My office in Cardiff has a downstairs toilet and a step at the front door.

If you have any additional accessibility needs or considerations, please let me know so that we can make counselling a comfortable experience for you.
