During this call, we’ll chat about your needs. We will answer any questions. We’ll see if working together feels right. There is no pressure and no obligation.

2. What happens during the consultation?

This session gives you space to share what’s on your heart and explore my approach to counselling. Together, we’ll check it thats a good fit. We’ll then decide next steps. You can choose to begin with a six-session block. Alternatively, you may choose a different path. It’s confidential, compassionate, and entirely your pace.

3. How long does the counselling process take?

Initial sessions are typically held weekly or fortnightly. After six sessions, we pause to reflect on your progress. Then we decide whether to conclude or continue. Clients often choose to keep going with short-term or longer-term work, depending on their needs and goals.

4. What are your fees?

Initial 20-minute consultation FREE

Weekly or bi-weekly sessions £45-£60 (sliding scale)

Mythic Soul Sessions (2‑hour immersion): £100 – £120 (sliding scale)

All sessions are one-to-one, offered online or at my practice in Street, Somerset.

5. Do you offer online sessions?

Yes, I offer sessions via Whereby, a secure and encrypted video platform. You can choose online-only or a hybrid schedule (mixing in-person and online sessions week by week).

6. What therapeutic approaches do you use?

I combine talk therapy, DBT tools, EFT, somatic practices, and creative ritual depending on what each session calls for. Mythic Soul Sessions weave in storytelling, symbolism, and artistic exploration, while longer-term counselling is tailored to your emotional rhythm.

7. Is this approach safe for clients who’ve experienced trauma?

Absolutely. I maintain an enhanced DBS, receive regular supervision, and follow ethical guidelines as a BACP member. I use trauma-informed, body-safe methods to support you in a grounded and sensitive environment.

8. Is there a commitment to continue after the initial six sessions?

You’ll decide. We start with a six-session block to build trust and momentum. Decisions to continue or end are always collaborative and respectful. They are based on what you feel is right for your individual journey.

9. What’s your practice location and accessibility?

Sessions in person take place in a private garden cabin in Street, Somerset (10 minutes from Glastonbury). It has free adjacent parking and is easy to reach off the M5. I’m fully accessible for online and local clients in the region.

10. How do I know if you’re the right counsellor for me?

The best way is through the free consultation. It’s a chance to sense whether the approach, energy, and pacing feel right. Many clients say just feeling understood and not judged helps them decide to continue.
