Questions

  • Thanks so much for stopping by!

    If you’d like to know more, do feel free to get in touch, either via the form on the contacts page or you can email me at susie@oxfordshire-counselling.co.uk

    I’ll then be in touch to offer a free phone consultation to explore a bit about why you’re seeking counselling, what you hope to gain from it, and how we might work together. This also offers you the chance to ask any questions you may have.

  • In our first meeting together, we will look at how counselling sessions will work, and cover some of the housekeeping associated with meeting together. We will then begin to look at the issues you wish to bring.

  • Sessions last an hour, usually at the same time each week.

  • Sessions are open ended - how many you have will depend on your needs and how you feel you’re progressing. However, to ensure counselling remains therapeutic and beneficial for you, we will have regular reviews to ensure we’re working to your goals. If I feel you might benefit from a differently skilled professional, I may signpost you elsewhere.

  • I offer in-person sessions in Eynsham, based in the premises of Nuance Counselling - www.nuancecounselling.co.uk. I also offer sessions online.

    I currently have availability on a Tuesday (online) or Wednesday (online or in-person) day-time. I don’t currently offer evening or weekend sessions.

  • My phone consultation is free of charge.

    My fees are £50 for each hour session. I ask that payment is made on the day of each session.

    I offer a limited number of concessionary rates.

  • All client information is kept confidential in accordance with the BACP and ACC Ethical Frameworks. Personal information is kept securely and protected under the Data Protection Act 1998 and GDPR 2018, and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

    There are a few exceptions to the confidentiality rule - for example, if you are at serious risk of harm, I may need to contact someone else in order for you to be safe and receive the support and care you require.

    I have a Privacy Policy in place, see here.

  • I don’t offer an emergency service. If you need help now, in an emergency or crisis, you can contact the following:
