WAY OF WORKING AND FEES

A counselling session with me usually lasts 50 minutes and sessions are weekly. I will try to find a regular time slot to see you each week. However, your needs might be different, and we can negotiate suitable ways of working together between us (hybrid working, fortnightly sessions, etc.). I charge £55 for face to face sessions and online sessions. If you are a student or on benefits, depending on the situation I can offer a reduced fee (£10 less). I can offer sessions in the following languages: English, German. 

Our First Session 

I charge £55 for all face to face sessions and all online sessions, including a first session.
However, if you are more comfortable with a telephone call or video call as a first contact, please let me know; I can offer a 20 minute initial consultation free of charge. 

In our first session, the first and foremost aim will be to create a safe and comfortable space to help you talk about what brought you to counselling. Then, I will introduce myself and explain my duty to confidentiality as well as my way of working to you. I will ask you if you can tell me a little bit about your current difficulties and/or potential aims for counselling, and what approach to counselling (times, flexible/regular, long-term/short-term) you have in mind initially. I will listen carefully, take notes and ask further questions to fully understand what is going on for you. After the first session I will give you time to decide if you would like to start working with me. If so, I will send you a therapy contract for you to read carefully and sign if you agree with what is outlined. And then we can start! I am already curious to find out about where this journey might take us.
