I currently offer counselling sessions face to face in person or online counselling via Zoom.
FACE TO FACE COUNSELLING
If a client prefers face to face counselling in person, I am able to provide a private and safe environment in the comfort of my garden cabin in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. There is free parking available on the drive.
ONLINE THERAPY THROUGH ZOOM
Some clients prefer online therapy over Zoom, which has a strong privacy policy. I have completed additional training in line with the BACP to offer online counselling to my clients. Although there may be a misconception that online counselling is not as effective as face to face counselling, this is actually not the case. Online counselling can be just as effective and has many advantages.
​
Advantages to Online Therapy Through Zoom
​
If you live in a remote area or are unable to travel to get to your counselling session for whatever reason. The lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic found counsellors scrambling to try to accommodate their clients who were in crisis. Online counselling offered many clients a way to connect with their counsellors in times of grief, loss, or anxiety. Many of these clients have since then chosen to continue with online counselling.
Online counselling is a good option for those who have difficulty with transport or accessibility or need to self-isolate.
​
Online counselling also offers greater flexibility within your schedule since you can eliminate the time it takes to travel to your counselling session. As long as you have reliable internet access and a private space, online therapy provides you with a quick and easy access to sessions, especially if you are away on business or out of the area.

CLINICAL SUPERVISION
As a qualified supervisor working with both individuals and groups, my aim is to nurture and develop a collaborative supervisor-supervisee relationship built on mutual respect and trust. I offer consultative support drawn on my over 16 years of experience as a counsellor. I supervise both individuals and groups and work with supervisees from all modalities, during training and post qualification.
​
I have a special interest in supervising trainee counsellors on placements undertaking Person Centred courses and I allow a reduced fee for students. My standard supervision fee for is £55 per hour or £80 for 1.5 hours.
​
If you are interested in arranging a first initial meeting with me to discuss the supervision I offer, please do contact me.
FEES
Face to face and online Zoom counselling fees are all the same cost.
​
You are asked to have the same commitment to your online therapy as you would be asked to have for any face-to-face appointments. In addition, punctuality and commitment are just as important, when the work is happening via Zoom.
