In the UK, the terms counselling and psychotherapy can often be used interchangeably, as there is
considerable overlap between the two. Both provide a safe and confidential space for clients to
consider issues they are facing, alongside thought and behaviour patterns they are experiencing.
The aim is to help the client understand their individual distress and how it manifests in their
emotions and behaviours.
However, counselling predominantly focuses on the present, or here and now, and the immediate
symptoms the client wishes to focus on. Psychotherapy looks at both the client’s current state as
well as their childhood experience growing up, and how it can be influencing the present.
Therefore, counselling tends to be shorter in length than psychotherapy.
Services are provided confidentially to individuals. Sessions are held once a week, and last 50 minutes each.
The first session will consist of going through the consent form and an assessment to clarify your needs. The duration and type of therapy will also be discussed.
Appointments that are missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged in full.
All sessions provided follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework and the Professional Conduct Procedure.
