SESSIONS & FEES
Therapy sessions are at the same time and day, every week, last for 50 minutes and are confidential. Counselling is a process that involves self reflection. The sessions are not rushed, and it is important that you experience the therapy at your own pace. I offer ongoing open ended and short term therapy.
Fees
