Your Sessions

Length of a session

A counselling session will normally last one hour.

Number of Sessions

That is mainly up to you. There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions. The important thing is that you are free to stop attending counselling at any point and you are under no obligation to offer an explanation.

Frequency of Sessions

Again it is mainly up to you how frequently you attend. Some people find it helpful to have weekly sessions, others find it best to come less frequently. This is something that we would discuss in the first session and review regularly in following sessions.

Cost

The cost of a session is £60.

If you feel that you would benefit from counselling and you are not able to pay this rate then please get in touch as it will be possible to negotiate a rate more appropriate to your circumstances.

Payment

I accept payments in cash, by cheque, or by BACS.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel a session, please let me know as soon as possible.

In  exceptional circumstances I may need to cancel or re-arrange a session. This will only occur if I am too ill to practice effectively or in the event of an unforeseen crisis. If this is the case I will contact you as far in advance of the session as possible.

Where your sessions will take place

Commencing July 12th 2021, I offer face-to-face sessions in a counselling room in The Mission, on Harbour Street in Lerwick. I have use of the room on Mondays only.

I can also work remotely with clients, either by telephone or by Facetime and Zoom.
