Here are some FAQs but do feel free to get in touch to ask anything.

What can counselling help with?

Counselling can support you with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It offers a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings and begin to make sense of your experiences.

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. If something is affecting your wellbeing, relationships, or day-to-day life, therapy can help. I offer a free 20-minute initial telephone consultation so you can ask questions and decide whether it feels like the right step for you.

What happens in a counselling session?

Each session lasts 50 minutes and provides a confidential, non-judgemental space for you to talk. We will explore whatever feels important to you at your own pace, helping you to gain clarity, understanding, and new perspectives.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies from person to person. Some people attend for a short period to work through a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term support. We will review this together and work in a way that feels right for you.

Do you offer online counselling?

Yes, I offer online counselling across the UK. Sessions take place via a secure video platform, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your own home.

Do you offer in-person counselling?

Yes, I offer face-to-face counselling in Basingstoke and Alresford. Sessions take place in a private and comfortable setting where you can talk openly and feel supported.

Is online counselling effective?

Many people find online counselling just as effective as in-person therapy. It can also offer greater flexibility and accessibility, particularly if you have a busy schedule or prefer not to travel.

What are your fees?

Sessions are £60 for both adults and young people, whether online or in person. I offer limited daytime concessions for counsellors in training.

Do you offer couples or family therapy?

No, I currently work with individuals only, including adults and young people aged 12 and above.

Is counselling confidential?

Yes, counselling is confidential. There are some legal and ethical limits to confidentiality, which I will explain clearly at the start of our work together.

Where are you based?
