Share your availability in your initial message, i.e. the preferred days and times you'd like to meet.
I aim to reply within 24 hours suggesting times for us to have a free introductory 20-minute online chat. I normally use either Google Meet or WhatsApp. I find WhatsApp more stable if the internet connection is a bit iffy. Please do say if you have a preference.
This is a free, no-pressure conversation.
This online chat provides the opportunity for us both to ask questions, share a little about what you’re looking for, and get a sense of how I work. It’s also a chance for us to see whether working together feels like a good fit, with no pressure or obligation to book a session afterwards.
You'll need good internet connection and a comfortable and private place where we can't be overheard.
I work mostly online. I also offer face-to-face sessions from my room, which is in a totally quiet and secluded location in the heart of Bridport town centre.
I have worked with many clients exclusively online, and strongly believe that online work can be deeply impactful.
I am happy to do a mix of face-to-face and online sessions, which can be helpful if either of us is away.
We will aim to meet regularly and each session will be at a mutually agreed time. Ideally, this will be at the same time, on the same day each time we meet.
My cancellation policy: cancellation of an appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, or failure to attend will incur the full fee of the session. Missed sessions (unattended with no prior reason given) will incur the full fee of the session.
Counsellor in Bridport and online anywhere.
