The question I get asked by my friends and acquaintances ALL THE TIME is this - I'm thinking about starting counselling but I have no idea what to expect, would it be alright if we had a chat about it?

I always say yes. I've done the same to friends who have some type of specialist knowledge which I know nothing about and I've always been grateful that they bothered. I've also helped friends chat about counselling and it really helps to lessen the anxiety about it all.

So, I thought I'd open this out to people I don't know. Searching the internet will only get you so far, sometimes it's really helpful to actually talk to someone...so I'm making myself available to everyone, if anyone out there wants to have a free conversation about counselling, therapy, what the difference is between the two, what's this CBT I've read about, how much, how long etc, etc, etc.

Email me here to arrange a time to chat.
