As a counsellor I will not be giving direct advice as Person-Centred counselling is a non-directive client led therapy. This style of counselling works on the therapeutic principal that given the right therapeutic conditions you will find the answers that are right for you and your well-being.  More I will be supporting you to build trust in your own thoughts and feelings thus empowering you to make the right choices for you and creating your own solutions to your own problems.

If after your initial session you decide to book another session we will meet at a time that suits us both at my counselling practice located at Cumbria Therapies in Carlisle. The location is discreet with lots of free parking and also within walking distance of Carlisle’s main bus routes.

Payment to be made in cash at the end of each session. Receipts will be provided at point of payment.

My practice is based at Cumbria Therapies in Carlisle – 24 Norfolk Rd, Carlisle CA2 5PQ. If this location is not suitable for whatever reason then I am happy to explore possible alternative venues in your locality.

Counselling sessions are typically 50 minutes long and the fee is £45 per session, although I do offer a reduced rate of £30 for an initial session.

I also offer a reduced rate of £30 per session for students studying Person Centred Counselling who may need personal therapy to support their own continued professional development (CPD).

If you cannot make your pre-booked session for any reason then I will need 48 hours notice and I will happily reschedule your appointment for another time. If the notice of the cancellation is less than 48 hours then the session fee will still need to be charged in full.

The amount of sessions will be entirely decided by yourself whether that be short or long term. We can stop the counselling at any time no questions asked. Usually a person will need 3-4 sessions but if you feel you need more time then I’m happy to work with you and your needs at your pace. If our work is long term then I will introduce a review session to explore if we are still focused on your goals and to ensure the relationship is therapeutically beneficial.
