information
Stroud & online

Below is some information about the
counselling services. If you have a specific
query, please feel welcome to call
07964593035 or email. All sessions are by
appointment.

I work with both individuals and couples over
the age of eighteen in the UK. Usually,
individuals have regular weekly sessions; and
couples either weekly or fortnightly.

I am offering both daytime and evening
appointments, (subject to availablity).

If you would like to know something of my
experience and qualifications, have a look at
the counsellor page. Then if you are interested
in having some sessions, we can arrange an
assessment session; and then take it from
there.

How many sessions for
counselling?

Taking the view that we are all unique
individuals with different needs, there is no set
number of counselling sessions. You may wish
to have just a few sessions, with a particular
focus or goal. However, there is also the
opportunity for longer term therapy, allowing
you to be able to work at further depth and
explore more complex issues.

Have a look at my useful links page for
further resources and support.

Phone or video call therapy

Using online counselling, (through Skype-like
video calling), or therapy by phone, may not be
something you have considered in the past.
While these ways of working might not suit
everybody, it could be a convenient way to
access therapy from the comfort of your own
home.

These days the difference between video calls,
like (Skype or Zoom), and phone calls may
seem blurred, but if you would like to ask
about what might be most suitable for you,
you are welcome to contact me to discuss this.
Finding an appropriate way to work is the first
important step.

Therapy through
health insurance

I am also registered to provide counselling
through health insurance companies including
Bupa, Aviva Health, PruHealth and Cigna.
Please ask, if you would like to be seen
through one of these insurance schemes.

Clinical supervision

I am experienced in supervision, including
several years in the NHS, using a
psychodynamic approach. How often you may
need to have supervision may vary according
to your own experience as a counsellor,
and the size of your caseload.

The BACP says that there needs to be a
minimum of one and a half hours /month
supervision for qualified counsellors; and
more for trainees. I can offer weekly or
fortnightly supervision.
