Common Questions

Things people often wonder before reaching out.

Absolutely. Many people coming to therapy for the first time feel nervous about not knowing what to expect. There's no right way to do it, and the first session is simply a chance to talk and get a feel for how it works. You don't need to have everything figured out before you arrive.

That's exactly what the free consultation is for. You don't need to arrive knowing the answer - just share a bit about where you're at and we can figure out together what might be most helpful. Recovery coaching, counselling, and the other services often overlap, and the right approach usually becomes clear in conversation.

Yes - please do. I believe therapy should be accessible, and if fees are a barrier, there's often room to work something out. It's always worth a conversation. Reduced fees are considered on an individual basis.

Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is strictly confidential and held within the BACP ethical framework. The only exceptions are where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others - and these limits will always be explained clearly at the start.

Yes. Online sessions are available via video call at £50 per hour. Face-to-face sessions are held at Kingsley House in Shurdington, Cheltenham, at £60 per hour. Both options work well - it comes down to what feels most comfortable for you.
