Private One to One remote Secure Online Counselling via Zoom, using a laptop, tablet or phone,
Remote counselling can offer you support that you can easily access., offering you the potential for greater flexibility in terms of scheduling as you can fit your sessions in with your lifestyle or working hours and saves time on having to travel to counselling premises.
It is entirely accessible and inclusive in bringing therapy to you, whatever your circumstances and wherever you are.
Should we experience technical difficulties, we would continue the session via telephone or reschedule.
You will need to be in a private, quiet space where no one can overhear or interrupt your session.
A good stable internet connection, working camera and microphone will be needed.
Walking & Talking

60 Minutes £50
90 Minutes £75
Mon - Thurs 8am to 8pm
These sessions take place outdoors, walking side by side.
For some, this feels easier and more natural to discuss problems and can provide the means to release physical tension, breathe deeply and relax, making it easier to begin talking and processing their thoughts and feelings. Some clients prefer to take a more relaxing stroll, while others prefer to set a quicker pace. The client will always
determine the pace of our walk as to what is comfortable for them.
This service is only offered to clients who live within a 5-mile radius of Poole, BH14.
We would negotiate and agree on a time
and location where we meet and begin our Walk and Talk session. Toilet accessibility cannot be guaranteed as we are dependent on public facilities.
In bad weather, we would move the session to online or by phone.
Face to Face
60 Minutes £40
90 Minutes £65
Mon - Thurs 8am to 8pm
Face to Face sessions are available in my Consulting Room in Poole, BH14, offering a therapeutic, confidential space where you can talk freely.
The room is situated in a wooden summer house in my garden (very private), accessed via steps.
A face to face meeting widens the therapeutic frame as it includes the journey to and from the session and can provide reassurance in knowing you are coming to a safe and dependable address. For some clients, this provides their only safe & confidential space.
Toilet facilities are available via five steps to the house. Free parking is provided on the driveway. A convenient local bus route is just in front of the property.
Telephone

60 Minutes £35
Mon - Thurs 8am to 8pm
This service, which is audio-only, provides you with an additional level of anonymity as you are not coming face to face with your therapist.
This may benefit those who are particularly anxious about having counselling.
Some clients prefer to start this way, and once they feel more comfortable, they may switch to video call or face to face, whilst some remain audio-only.
You will need to be in a private, quiet space where no one can overhear or interrupt your session. I will confirm this with you before we get into our session.
Home Visit Therapy
60 Minutes £50
90 Minutes £75
Mon - Thurs 8am to 8pm
This is for clients who live within a 5-mile radius of Poole, BH14, who may have difficulty getting to my private practice, because of agoraphobia, medical issues, being elderly or have responsibilities at home, who would like the experience of face-to-face therapy in the comfort of their own home.
We would need to be in a private, quiet space where no one can overhear or interrupt our session.
Support Call

I offer a telephone (audio only) 30-minute support call to my clients, providing emotional support with sensitivity & care, focusing on minimising your stress in a time of crisis.
This may also include informing you of other services & organisations that may be able to help meet any other specific needs you may have at the time.
