Where and how will we meet?
I work in Newcastle Thursday (9.00am-12.00pm)
and in Durham on Tuesday (5.15pm-7pm) and Thursday (1.30pm-6.30pm).
How often would we meet?
After deciding our focus, we would meet weekly for six sessions. If needed, we can extend these sessions. I recommend working together for at least 6-20 weeks to get the most out of counselling.
What is the timing of each session?
Each counselling session will be for 50 minutes.
Is there a cost?
As a qualified counsellor in training for psychotherapy, I receive regular supervision, which allows me to offer a lower session cost of £50. You can read the Client Agreement that we need to agree on before we work together.
I offer a free 30-minute telephone introductory conversation to discuss your needs and to hear about my approach to counselling.
How am I accountable?
I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member(412165) of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I am currently in training for psychotherapy and a student member of the Association for Psychospiritual Practitioners (APP). I follow the APP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Professional Conduct Procedure. The APP is part of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and follows its ethical guidelines. I am registered with UKCP as a trainee member, registration number 2011187383.
What is Psychosynthesis?
Roberto Assagioli was a contemporary of the famous psychologists Freud and Jung, and he created a type of psychology called Psychosynthesis. He believed that everyone has a natural wish to feel whole and complete.
Psychosynthesis looks at the whole person, combining the spiritual side of life with our daily experiences.
This approach helps us understand different parts of our lives—like our feelings, thoughts, and physical well-being. It focuses on how our past shapes our present, without getting stuck in what has happened before.
