Onboarding

Although I outline how I work on this website, I believe that therapy is a very personal process and finding a therapist you feel you can trust and connect with can make a huge difference to your comfort levels and the likelihood of a successful outcome. That’s why I offer, to those who are genuinely considering beginning therapy with me, the option of either a brief telephone call, no longer than 15 minutes which is free of charge, or a paid for 50 minutes session.

Optional Free 15-Minute Telephone Call

The complimentary 15 minutes telephone call is not a therapy session but simply a chance for us to connect, for you to ask questions and decide whether working together feels like the right fit. For me its a chance of checking that I have the appropriate skills to support you and to clarify some practical details for working together. There is no sales pitch and no pressure to book further sessions. If at the end of the call we both feel comfortable with the idea of working together, we can arrange a suitable time for a first session which is a 50 minutes paid for appointment that offers more time to explore your situation in depth.

Because this is a time limited check in, it isn’t suitable for exploring difficulties in depth. If you feel you'd benefit from more time to talk about your situation or want to explore more deeply before deciding, you can bypass the 15 minutes call and book a 50 minutes assessment session directly, which is a paid appointment. This paid session gives ample time to discuss your concerns, explore your situation, and decide whether therapy with me is the right fit.

First Session – Assessment (50 minutes, paid)

The first full session offers a safe and confidential space to start to talk about what has brought you to therapy, the difficulties you're experiencing and how these may be affecting your life. It’s also an opportunity for us to explore aspects of your personal history that feel relevant, at a pace that feels right for you and explore the reality of what can be achieved together. You do not have to share anything that you do not feel ready to.

This is a collaborative process where we both have the opportunity to assess if we are a "good fit".  I will ask you questions to help me develop my understanding of your difficulties, to enable me to assess your needs and determine whether I am able to offer the psychological support you need. If I think a referral to another counsellor or service is more appropriate, I will discuss this openly with you.

At the end of the session, if we both feel that we are a good fit, we can agree on how best to work together and arrange ongoing weekly sessions.

Frequency of sessions

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step and it’s natural to have questions about how often sessions should take place.

Research and clinical experience consistently show that therapy is most effective when sessions are held once a week, particularly in the early stages. Evidence-based studies associate weekly sessions with more positive outcomes for clients, as this regularity supports momentum, emotional processing, and meaningful change.

When sessions are spaced fortnightly or less frequently, clients often attend a similar total number of sessions overall. This means the financial cost tends to be comparable in the long term, but the therapeutic process unfolds over a longer period, which can slow progress and make it harder to maintain continuity. 

Meeting at the same time each week helps create structure, predictability, lowers the stress and anxiety around attending therapy and creates often much needed stability and trust. For many people, this consistency becomes a vital part of feeling held and supported in the therapeutic process.

For these reasons, I offer weekly sessions in the most effective and supportive way possible.

The sooner you get help, the faster you can get back to enjoying life.
