Thinking about counselling? Here’s what happens, and what it costs
Sometimes the questions get louder at night. You might have spent a long time looking for answers on your own, reading, searching, trying to make sense of how you feel, and still feel stuck. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
This page explains, simply, what counselling with me actually looks like, what it costs, and how to take the first small step. No surprises, and no pressure.
What our first session is like
The first session is just a conversation. You tell me, in your own words, what has brought you here and what you are hoping might feel different.
I will not push you to share more than you want to. We are simply getting to know each other and seeing whether it feels right to work together.
How we work together
- We meet weekly, at the same time each week, so you have a space that is reliably yours.
- We go at your pace. When you feel ready, we look a little deeper to understand why you feel the way you do.
- There is no set number of sessions. You stay for as long as it feels helpful.
- We review how things are going at agreed points, so you always feel in charge of your own journey.
- When the time feels right for you, we talk about ending well.
What it costs
Sessions last 50 minutes. We meet weekly.
Student discount available with a valid student ID.
It’s normal to feel unsure
Taking the first step can feel like the hardest part. You might have talked to friends and still felt misunderstood, or tried to work things out alone and felt stuck. That does not mean nothing can change. It often just means you have not yet had the right space to be properly heard.
Counselling is not always quick, and sometimes things can feel a little harder before they ease. That is a normal part of the process, not a sign it isn’t working. You will not be doing it alone. I will be alongside you the whole way.
Ready to take the first step?
You don’t need a referral, a diagnosis, or the perfect words. If any of this feels like you, get in touch and we can talk about whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.
