FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I KNOW IF YOU ARE RIGHT FOR ME?
The most important part of any effective therapy is finding the right Counsellor. You need to feel safe and understood, without any sense of judgement or criticism.
Finding the right Counsellor involves trusting your gut in this initial stage. Sometimes just the profile picture can put you off, sometimes the use of language. However, there are many counsellors out there and yours will be out there too.
If you’ve had a look around my website and find yourself curious, perhaps now is the time to reach out and arrange a free 15 minute call to discuss working together further. Its a chance to hear my voice, share a bit more, ask any questions and gauge if you want to work together.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
The charge is £50 for 50 minutes. This can be paid on the day via card machine or bank transfer before the session.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
My private practice in the centre of Norwich on Ber Street, located behind Notre Dame School (about 3 minutes walk from John Lewis).
The building is a beautiful listed building with cultural interest and lots of character. My practice is located on the second floor, which is not ideal for everyone (for which I do apologise) but I also offer online sessions. The room is bright, spacious, quiet and comfortable.
WHAT TIMES DO YOU WORK?
I work in person/ virtually Tuesday to Friday with appointments at:
10:00, 11:10, 12:20, 13:30
And Virtually Monday and Tuesday with appointments at:
19:00, 20:00
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
This varies from person to person. Sometimes, if there is a clear goal, something you have an understanding of and a drive to work on, short term therapy may be for you. Usually 6-10 sessions.
If you bring something more deep rooted and complex, which permeates throughout many areas of life, an open ended approach may work better for you. This comes to an end when you decide.
DO YOU WORK WITH COUPLES?
At this moment in time I only have the training and experience working with individuals only.
WHAT AGE RANGE DO YOU WORK WITH?
I currently work with clients 18 years upwards. From September 2025, I will be qualified to work with children and young people 9 years upwards.
WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR FIRST SESSION?
Our first session is slightly different as it involves running through our Therapeutic Contract. This document provides me with some important details from you and also explains how the therapy works logistically, i.e payment, times, confidentiality agreement. The idea is to lay all my cards on the table to avoid any surprises further down the line, and have us both agree to it.
From there, you lead the session and bring whatever is on your mind and we begin developing our therapeutic relationship.
I’M INTERESTED, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
That’s great to hear! The next step is to send me a message and we can arrange a time to have a free 15 minute call to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you.
