FAQS

What should I expect when I first make contact?

We will have a short phone call so that I can understand a little more about the support you’re seeking and answer any questions you might have.  We can then arrange a first face-to-face meeting to see how we connect and feel about working together.

How long do sessions last?

Sessions last for 50 minutes, both for individual and couples work.  Sometimes it is better for couples to have 80 minute sessions and if we all feel this would work better then we can extend the time. 

---

How many sessions will I need?

This can vary hugely depending on individual circumstances.  Our work will usually be open-ended, meaning you can come for as long as you feel it is beneficial. I usually recommend at least 6-8 sessions as a minimum, we can then have a review and see if you wish to continue.  

---

How do I pay?

Payment is due by bank transfer at least one working day before each session.

---

Do you offer online sessions?

Much of my work takes place face-to-face but I successfully work online when location or timings prevent meeting in person.
