Therapy sessions for one-to-one counselling typically last 50 minutes. This time allows you time to explore what is going on for you in depth while ensuring you have the support you need and to start to understand how things affect you as well as getting relief from difficulties.

I offer a free initial consultation to help you decide if am the therapist for you. If you aren't sure and want to speak to me first, fill in the contact form (https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/contact)and I will get in touch to help. During your first therapy session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, your goals, and any concerns you may have. This is a confidential place for you to share about whatever it is that has happened and we will start working together to help you find solutions that suits your needs. You won't be pushed to speak about anything you don't want to and it is all at your pace. You will be provided with everything you need prior to attending the first session but if you have a specific question or need to clarify anything do ask by filling out the contact form (https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/contact). It can feel a bit daunting but I am here to help make it as easy as possible for you.

There is no exact answer to this and things that may influence this will be what has happened and how it is affecting you, the type of therapy you are looking for, the type of approach taken to help and how things pan out in the sessions. If you want to speak to me about this fill out the form by following this link to arrange a free initial consultation.(https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/contact) Before starting we will discuss realistic timescales at the first session or in the initial assessment so you will have a clear understanding of this before you commence. I conduct regular reviews with you to make sure you are getting the help you need. You will get the help required in as many sessions as it takes for you to feel a benefit. Therapy doesn’t have to be weekly or long-term to be meaningful. We can work in a way that feels realistic for you, taking into account your time, availability and financial commitments also. If you are looking for a fixed number of sessions to try and work on a particular issue then a psychotherapeutic coaching (https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/post/unlocking-change-through-psychotherapeutic-coaching)may be helpful or working in a solution focused way (https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/post/a-solution-focused-approach-supporting-growth-using-integrative-therapies)may be possible.

Fees vary according to the type of therapy you are looking for and you can click here to see my fees.(https://www.surreytalkingtherapy.co.uk/contact) Because the cost of counselling can be challenging, I am able to offer some reduced cost counselling to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible. This is assessed on an individual basis so please mention this when you get in touch with your chosen therapist to discuss it with them. I offer a free initial consultation can help you decide if a counsellor is the right fit for you.
