You can contact me by email at alison@eastcoastcounselling.co.uk, by message/WhatsApp or by calling me on 07825 395 801. You can also use the contact form on this website.
If you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible. I require a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Sessions cancelled within this 24-hour window will be charged at the full session rate.
Everything you share with me is kept confidential, except in very rare situations where I'm concerned about serious risk to you or someone else. If that were ever the case, I would endeavour to talk it through with you first, in the hope we could agree together what to do next.
This varies from person to person. I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, and we'll check in regularly to see how things are going. Most people attend weekly, but fortnightly is also an option.
We will regularly check in during our sessions to reflect on progress and any areas that feel like they may require further attention.
You are free to end your sessions at any time, although I would appreciate you discussing this with me so we can agree on an end date. This allows us time to reflect on your progress together.
In the first instance I'd ask you to talk to me so we can work through it together. If that isn't possible, you can contact the BACP who provide an independent complaints process — bacp.co.uk.
Still have a question?
I'm always happy to talk things through before you commit to anything.
