Working together
How we might begin and
what you can expect
Here are the practical details about us working together.
The first section below covers counselling, supervision and coaching. Family & Systemic Constellations are offered a little differently, so you'll find information about those further down the page.
Counselling, supervision and coaching
Making first contact — The first step is usually a free, confidential exploratory conversation. We'll have about 30 minutes together. This is an opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you are looking for, and consider whether working together feels right. There is no obligation to continue.
Where — My consulting room is in my home in East Sussex, between Lewes, Uckfield and Heathfield – a quiet, private space with easy parking. Alternatively, we can meet online if you are anywhere in the UK or Europe.
Sessions — Counselling and coaching sessions are 60 minutes. Supervision sessions can be longer, depending on your professional needs.
Frequency — Counselling usually takes place weekly, though fortnightly sessions or another pattern may suit you better. We can talk through the different options and find a rhythm that supports our work. The same applies to coaching. Supervision can happen at a frequency that fits your professional needs.
Short-term or longer-term — I am open to both. Some people come to coaching or counselling with a particular issue they would like to work through over a relatively short period. Others value longer-term work, allowing more time for reflection and deeper change. We'll review our work together regularly and decide together what feels most helpful.
Fees for counselling, supervision and coaching
Counselling / Coaching – £50 per session
Supervision – £60 per session
I offer some concessionary sessions, including for counselling students. If cost would be a barrier, please feel free to ask. Clients paying the full fee help make these reduced-rate places possible.
Constellations
Group Constellations — 'Tuesday Constellations' take place monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of the month. Upcoming dates and booking are available via Eventbrite. You can book and pay through Eventbrite, or you can book by contacting me directly and contributing in cash on the evening. I ask for a minimum contribution of £10. If you are able to contribute more, I appreciate it. Additional contributions help cover room hire and support my continuing professional development in Constellations. Keeping Tuesday
Constellations affordable and accessible is important to me.
Where - Group sessions take place in the Community Building of Laughton Lodge, Laughton, near Lewes.
One-to-one Constellations can vary in length and we may have an additional 'talking' session before or after to prepare or debrief. I will charge my hourly Counselling rate for time we spend together, plus an additional small fee to cover room rental if applicable. I usually hold one-to-one Constellations again in the Community Building of Laughton Lodge or in my private consulting room. We can discuss this.
