We begin with a free 20 minute phone consultation.
You complete a referral form on behalf of the young person.
Initial assessment to discuss the young person's circumstances and what you and they want to get out of counselling as well as their needs and preferences. This includes signing contracts and completing necessary paperwork. A parent is expected to be present for part or all of the assessment (depending on the child) and are welcome to stay as long as the child needs them.
Counselling can be started once these have been completed.
Ongoing counselling sessions are usually weekly, but can be fortnightly. The amount of sessions depends on the client, but six sessions is the average.
I carry out regular reviews to take into account how the client is doing and the amount of further sessions needed.
Each session is £55, but concessions may be available based on circumstances. Payment is expected prior to the session.
