What sessions are about

Counselling is a regular conversation with someone trained to listen well and help you make sense of what is going on. It is not about being told what to do. It is about having a space just for you, where you can think out loud, work through things, and find a clearer way forward.

Yes, what you share stays between you and your counsellor. The only time anything might be shared is if there's a genuine safety concern, or if the law requires it. If that ever came up, it would be explained to you clearly so you're never left guessing. In your first session, confidentiality is covered properly so you know exactly where you stand before anything else. More information on privacy and confidentiality is found on the Get Started page of this website.

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian is usually involved when you first get started. Once sessions begin, what you share is private. If you are 18 or over, you can book and attend on your own. I will always explain confidentiality clearly, so you know where you stand.

No. You do not need a referral or a diagnosis to book a counselling session. You can conveniently book online by clicking the View Next Availablity link in the header and finding your preferred service, or by sending a quick message through the Get in Touch form on the Get Started page, and I will take it from there.

Book a session online, or send a message first if you'd like to ask something before committing. Either way is completely fine. I'll confirm your session and send through extra details before your first appointment. No surprises and no complicated process. Just show up at the time that works for you.
