With Couples:

Firstly I will offer a free 15 minute phone call with both of you to listen to what you’re looking for and answer any questions you might have.

If you are happy to go ahead I will book a first session where I will run through a short assessment and have more time to learn in depth what your main issues are.

If there are any risk factors I will discuss a longer assessment period and share possible avenues you can take if couple counselling isn’t the right path at this time.

I may do individual sessions as part of the couple work so give each person a chance to talk alone. These sessions are confidential but I don’t hold secrets within couple work. If I’m informed of a secret I will support the holder in the next 3 sessions to share this with their partner so we can work through things. If the secret is not shared I will end sessions.

It is important that I work equally with both members of the couple, that both feel heard, held and understood by me.
