Additional Information
Initial Consultation
I provide counselling to adult clients age 18 and over.
Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation I offer on phone or video chat to see if my counselling approach is a good fit for you and we can discuss briefly the plan ahead.
I have experience in counselling in various specialities and can discuss this with you further. For instance some of the areas I work with include :
​
Anxiety
Depression
Bereavement
Loss
Trauma
Self-harm
Stress
Sessions
Based on our initial chat and what brings you to counselling we can discuss how many sessions may be required. It can be as few or many as you need. It is usual to discuss this at intervals. I can undertake short or long-term therapy with a view to a planned ending.
​
My counselling sessions can be face to face in Dunoon, video chat or telephone.
​
Costs
Consultation sessions are 50 minutes - £45 a session.
​
Payable in advance by bank transfer or in person with cash or cheque at appointment please.

Confidentiality
In the first session we will discuss a confidentiality policy, which as a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to their ethical framework. Our sessions are confidential but as part of these standards, I discuss my work in clinical supervision. Also there are some exceptions to confidentiality which link to care and risk in relation to harm of yourself or others. I would discuss any intention to do this first with you.
​
I am also registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), registration no: ZB584726, in order to legally and safely store your information.
