Confidentiality
All disclosures are handled with care, integrity and confidentiality within my working practice, the only time this might be breached is if I believe that you as my client or someone else is at serious risk of harm. If this does arise then I will do my utmost to speak with you before hand.
Notes
All notes are written after each session and kept minimal, with either first names only or a number code for my records. This is to promote anonymity for all my clients and the notes are stored safely and anonymously. This is to comply to the best of my abilities to the data protection act 1998. You also have the right to access your notes with two weeks prior notice.
Environment
At the counselling pod I aim to provide an environment that offers a safe and confidential place to talk freely. I work to offer flexible hours to suit all my current and potential clients. If I can not help with any of your enquiries then I will try to refer or recommend a counsellor or counselling service that may be more suitable to your personal needs.
"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

Introduction
People come to counselling/therapy because they want to change or to understand why they feel/think the way that they do. Recent research has shown when people instigate change within themselves by the support and help of a therapeutic counsellor/therapist, it can promote a positive outcome.
Service
I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation , this free consultation gives an opportunity for you to have an idea what to expect from me as your therapist. You may of experienced counselling/therapy before, so this offers an insight into how I work as a therapist and whether we both feel we can work together.
The service I provide is one that is tailored to you and your individual needs. Through your initial session we discuss and complete questionnaires to help identify what your particular needs are and agree together the best way forward.
