Counselling Appointments

I offer private, one-to-one counselling appointments for adults, either face-to-face in Plymouth or online through Teams.
I look after my bookings personally, so you are welcome to call, text, WhatsApp or email me to ask a question or arrange your first session.
You do not need to explain everything in your initial message. You can simply let me know that you are interested in counselling and whether you would prefer a face-to-face or online appointment.

My counselling appointments are generally offered towards the end of the working day, with some late afternoon and evening sessions available.

To enquire about counselling or arrange an appointment, contact me using whichever method feels most comfortable:
Call, text or WhatsApp: 07551 793464
Email: investinyoucounselling@outlook.com
It is helpful if your message includes:

• Your name
• Whether you would prefer face-to-face or online counselling
• The days or times that generally work best for you or which one of the appointments listed works for you.
• You are welcome to include a brief indication of what you would like support with, but you do not need to share personal details before your appointment.

I aim to respond to enquiries within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

Face-to-Face Counselling Appointments

Face-to-face counselling takes place at:

Plymouth Wellbeing Centre
Unit 3, Lyhner House
Bush Park
Estover
Plymouth
PL6 7RG

The centre provides a quiet, professional setting with free parking available.

When you arrive, please come into reception and I will meet you there.

Online Counselling Appointments

Online counselling is available through Teams if you would prefer to attend from home, live outside Plymouth or need greater flexibility.

Before the appointment, I will send you a private Teams link. You can join the session using a computer, tablet or phone.

You will need:

• A reliable internet connection
• A device with a camera and microphone
• A quiet, private space where you feel comfortable talking and are unlikely to be interrupted or overheard

Online sessions last 60 minutes and are charged at the same rate as face-to-face appointments.

What Happens Before Your First Session?

Once we have agreed on a suitable appointment, I will confirm the date, time and location or send the details needed for an online session.

I will also provide information about payment, confidentiality, cancellations and what you can expect from counselling.

Payment is made by bank transfer at least 48 hours before your appointment.

What Happens in the First Counselling Session?

The first session gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you hope might be different.

We will begin by discussing the counselling agreement, including confidentiality and how we will work together. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions.

You do not need to tell me your whole life story during the first appointment or arrive with a clearly defined goal. We can begin with what feels most important to you at the time.

The session also gives you an opportunity to decide whether you feel comfortable talking with me and whether my approach feels suitable for you.

Ongoing Counselling Appointments

If you decide to continue, we can discuss how frequently you would like to attend. Many people begin with weekly sessions because this provides continuity, although your needs and circumstances will be taken into account.

There is no requirement to commit to a set number of appointments. We can review how counselling is progressing as we work together.

Fees and Payment

Counselling sessions cost £55 and last 60 minutes – 1st session £50

Payment is made by bank transfer at least 48 hours before each appointment. Payment details will be provided when your session is arranged.

Cancelling or Rearranging an Appointment

I understand that plans can sometimes change. If you need to cancel or rearrange your appointment, please give as much notice as possible.

Appointments cancelled on the same day are charged at the full session fee because I may be unable to offer the time to someone else at short notice.
