Contact and FAQ

---

I offer a free, initial consultation via telephone, which usually lasts around fifteen minutes.  This gives us an opportunity to see whether we feel we are a good fit to work together, and whether you feel I might be able to help you. You will have an opportunity to tell me more about what brings you to therapy, share any expectations or goals you may have for your sessions, and ask any questions you may have about me and how I work, so you can get a sense of whether I am the right therapist for you. There is absolutely no obligation for you to continue your  journey with me, and if for any reason we feel we are not a good match, I will do my best to signpost you appropriately. 

If you feel you are ready to start your  journey, you can contact me by phone, text, email, or the contact form below arrange a consultation call.

If you decide you would like to go ahead and start your therapy journey with me, I will email you a copy of my contract to read through before our first session. The contract contains all the details needed for us to have a solid foundation for working together, including directions to my office, how you can contact me, payment details, cancellation policy, what to expect during sessions and my commitment to confidentiality.

During the first session it is necessary for me to take some personal details from you, including contact details and information regarding any health conditions you may have. This information will be kept in line with the Data Protection Act (1998). 

I will not provide advice but may give information if I think it could be useful. As an integrative counsellor, I may draw on a variety of techniques in sessions, including breathwork, EFT, and other somatic and creative techniques. 

I am based within Seaton Holme in Easington Village, County Durham, just off the A19. The office is close to Durham City,  Hartlepool and Sunderland. The therapy room is located on the 1st floor and there is a rear car park, as well as on-street parking available.  

Your investment is  £50 per 50 minute session, payable 48 hours in advance of sessions, by bank transfer, Paypal or card.
