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; if you feel that you may not be in a space where you can make changes just yet, feel unprepared, then perhaps try a one-off support session with me first, either individually or as a couple.
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. I can book sessions via email, my diary can move quickly though, and sessions offered on email may not be available if there is any delay in cyberspace. I do, however, appreciate contact via emails only at the weekend.
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 attend the session. It's important to read and respond to this if you have any queries.
