Online Counselling
In addition to my in-person counselling services, I also offer the flexibility of online counselling sessions. These virtual sessions provide a convenient and accessible way for clients to receive support, guidance, and counselling from the comfort of their own space. Whether you're dealing with geographic limitations, a busy schedule, or simply prefer the convenience of online interaction, I'm here to accommodate your needs. Through secure and confidential video conferencing, I maintain the same level of professionalism and dedication to your well-being, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you need, no matter where you are. Online counselling opens up new possibilities for those seeking assistance, and I'm committed to providing you with the same high standard of care in this virtual setting. Your mental health and personal growth are just a click away, and I'm here to help you on your journey, online or in person.
Online Counselling Terms and Conditions
​
Qualifications and Ethical Framework
I am a qualified and insured Counsellor, proudly affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In my practice, I strictly adhere to the BACP's Ethical Framework, ensuring a high standard of professional, safe, and ethical counseling. My goal is to offer Person-Centered Counselling, providing a confidential, secure, and therapeutic environment for clients embarking on their counseling journey.
​
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is paramount to our counselling relationship. Everything discussed between us remains entirely confidential. However, there are exceptions, including situations where there is a significant risk of harm to the client or others, any concerns related to harm to children or vulnerable adults, issues involving drug trafficking, or terrorism. For supervision purposes, I may discuss our sessions, but I always maintain anonymity by avoiding the use of names or any identifying information.
​
Notes and Records
I may keep concise notes from our sessions, stored on a password-protected computer within a secured file bearing a code rather than your name. You have the right, under the Data Protection Act, to request access to these notes at any time.
Sessions and Fees
The cost of each counselling session is £45 for a 60-minute session. Sessions are to be paid in advance. If you are unable to attend a booked session, please provide a minimum of 48 hours' notice for cancellation. In exceptional circumstances, I may review this policy. If you anticipate arriving late for a session, kindly contact me in advance.
I commit to giving a minimum of 48 hours' notice for any cancellation, and I will provide you with at least 2 weeks' notice of any planned holidays.
Counselling Relationship
Our counselling relationship is defined as client/counsellor and does not extend to any form of social contact. If we happen to meet outside of our counselling space, your privacy will be fully respected unless you choose to acknowledge me. Please note that my telephone and email services are only attended to during office hours, reserved for booking, cancellations, and late arrival notifications. The duration of your counseling experience can be discussed and reviewed individually, typically at 6-week intervals.
​
By engaging in counseling services with me, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
