Practical Matters
I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor who attained an Advanced Diploma in Relational Centred Counselling. I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I have been seeing clients since 2016 with over 3500 client sessions to date.
My work is guided by the Ethical Code of Conduct of the UKCP and the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute Ltd where I studied.
I attend regular Supervision to ensure I continue to work ethically and competently with my clients.

Our first session will be a mutual assessment session. This session gives you an opportunity to meet me and find out how I work. It gives me an opportunity to meet you and to see if I can work ethically and competently with you.
If we agree to work together, I would normally ask you to commit to at least six session. You are free to leave whenever you wish, but I would ask for at least 1 session in order for us to have an appropriate ending. These first sessions will give us a deeper understanding of what brings you to therapy, but also if we wish to work together longer term.
During the 1st or 2nd session we will discuss and sign an agreement. This agreement is an ethical requirement as it explains what you can expect of me and what I expect of you. It will also clearly indicate my cancellation policy and agreed fees.
We will normally meet on the same day, time and place every week or as agreed.
Sessions last 50 minutes and all our work and arrangements are included in this time.
Payment is by cash or bank transfer.
