It is really important for you to find a counsellor that you can trust & feel supported by. In the first instance, I offer a free, 30-minute telephone conversation to discuss the main issues you are experiencing and how we might work together. The gives us both an idea if working together feels appropriate. I then suggest that we have an initial face-to-face 50-minute session – this gives you an idea of what a counselling session with me would be like. We can discuss further what you require from counselling and address any concerns that you or I may have. This way we can see if working together feels right for us both. This meeting is charged at my full or concessionary rate (as agreed). You are under no obligation to continue with me.
