Questions before you begin
I have tried to answer the questions people often ask before starting counselling. If your question is not here, please contact me and ask.
Starting counselling
Do I need to know what is wrong?
No. You can start with what is happening now, even if you cannot yet explain it clearly. We can develop an understanding together.
How long is a session?
Sessions last 50 minutes.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Online counselling is available across the UK. In-person sessions are offered in North London.
How much does counselling cost?
Online sessions are £60 and in-person sessions are £70. Limited concessionary and student places may be available; please ask when you contact me.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number for everyone. We can discuss what you want from counselling and review the work together as it develops.
Is counselling confidential?
Confidentiality is central to counselling, with limits in particular circumstances such as serious risk of harm or a legal requirement. We will discuss how information is handled before starting.
What if I am unsure about the right type of therapy?
You do not need to choose an approach in advance. I work integratively and we can consider what is useful for your needs and goals.
How do I make an appointment?
Email or call using the details on the contact page. We can arrange an initial conversation and discuss availability.
Ask Richard directly.
You are welcome to make an enquiry without committing to ongoing counselling.
