Counselling can be intimidating and I pride myself in being approachable and supportive whilst not being afraid to question and challenge when necessary. My consultation process is free, not because it is not valuable, but because I believe that for counselling to be effective there needs to be trust between therapist and client. It is important for us both to establish that we are a good match for moving forward with our therapeutic relationship. Free consultations allow for us both to make this decision without any pressure to move forwards if it doesn’t feel right.
