Frequently Asked Questions
What is Counselling?
I believe that everyone has the capability to do anything but sometimes we need help to work out how to achieve the life that we dream of. Counselling offers a space to talk about your issues. I do not give advice, but offer the chance to explore different options so that you can make the choices that work for you and your life situations.
Are the sessions confidential?
In line with the BACP (British Assocation of Counselling and Psychotherapy) code of ethics, the sessions are confidential. I would only break confidentiality if I felt that you were going to harm yourself or someone else. I would also discuss with you before breaking confidentiality. However, this is very rare and building up a mutually trusting relationship is very important for the work that we do
When working with children, if they disclose anything that causes me to be concerned for their well being I am legally required to inform local authorities.
What do the sessions cost?
I charge 40 euros per hour for a full hour and this is payable at the start of each session. If the counselling service is being offered in your house then there is an additional charge for travel. This cost depends on where you are based. Please contact me for actually travel costs.
What about cancellation?
If you cancel less than 48 hours before a session when you will be charged for that session. If you are late for a session, the session will start on time and finish on time. The slot will be kept open for you for the duration of the allotted time.
What about holidays?
We require 2 weeks notice for holiday dates and you will not be charged for these sessions. You will be given 2 months notice of any dates that I am not available and we will try to find an alternative mutually convenient time.
What method do you use for online counselling?
Our preferred programme is Vsee but we are flexible so please contact Kerry to discuss this options futher.
