Frequently asked questions about counselling services in Hampshire

How much will a counselling session cost? 

I charge £40 per session for individuals and £45 per couple.

I ask my clients to pay at the end of each session.

If I am not given sufficient notice of a cancellation I might charge a fee, however, if I am given 24 hours notice I usually waive this.

The sessions last 60 minutes. Ten minutes are usually spent in attending to details such as payment, receipts, booking the next session, etc.

I am not set up to deal with cards but accept cash or cheques.

Absolutely! Unless you say something which indicates that either you are in danger, or you are about to go out and endanger someone else, in which case we would work out together who we needed to tell to get appropriate help for you. My work is supervised and I will probably bring aspects of our work to supervision, to ensure I am working ethically and giving you the very best service, however, you will not be named.

There's no realistic way of answering this as it depends on the individual. However, we will regularly discuss how you feel you are getting on. You are free to leave counselling whenever you wish.

Yes. I charge £30 per session. However, I think students require careful support, both in personal therapy and counselling supervision, to ensure they get the most from their learning experience.

I recognise that many clients need to fit counselling around busy schedules and therefore I am prepared to be flexible, although I encourage clients to get into a reasonably regular pattern of sessions to get the most out of counselling.

I prefer to work face to face in the counselling room, however, I am prepared to offer telephone or Skype sessions under special circumstances.
