Appointments are about an hour, opening sessions may drift over a few minutes. Evening sessions are generally preferred by couples, anyone can book any session though. You will notice a bigger gap between the evening sessions, this is for my admin use and doesn't offer a longer session in the evening.
I aim to offer you an initial meeting within ten working days, the more flexible you can be on days/times the easier this is, you can always choose a more convenient time after session 1. It is important to note though that counselling is not a crisis service, you/you both need to be in a space where you can pause, consider and make reasonable use of the time.
You can book whichever session suits you each time, I don't restrict you to the same time or day and it is not necessary to attend every week, often fortnightly sessions work well as this allows time for changing interactions. If a particular session time or day is important for you please consider a block or rolling booking as I can't hold sessions until they are paid for. Blocks of 4 sessions attract a 5% discount.
How to book
If you can be flexible around your first appointment I may be able to meet with you fairly quickly.
It's best to call me with your diary at hand. If you want to book at the wekend please contact via the contact form and I will call you back. I don't normally return calls on Sundays.
If you are already receiving individual therapy, please let me know about this when booking, I may need more information.
When we have agreed a meeting I will send you a comprehensive email with everything you need to know to pay for and attend the session. Please look out for this email, your session booking may lapse if left uncompleted.
