Having made it onto this website many of you will know what counselling entails but for those who are unsure this page is here to explain a bit more about how it works.

​

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk about your issues and concerns. As your counsellor I will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and work through any difficult emotions or experiences or anything that is troubling you.

​

As counsellors we do not give opinions or advice or prescribe medication instead we try to help you understand yourself and help you find solutions - whether that’s making effective changes in your life, processing some of your uncomfortable feelings or difficult experiences or finding ways of coping better with any presenting issues.

​

Each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes and usually takes place at the same time each week. Sessions will either take place at The Mirabel Practice in North Dorset or online or a mixture of both. Before committing to your first session I ask each client that we have a 15 minute telephone or video call where we can meet each other and both gauge if we will be able to and want to work together. Everything discussed within the therapy session is confidential unless there is a safeguarding issue.

​

Each 50 minute session costs £60. If you are unable to make a session all I ask is that you let me know at least 24 hours before our session. If this does not happen you will be charged 50% of your session fee, £30.
