Frequently Asked Questions

What is Humanistic Integrative Counselling?

The humanistic approach works on the concept that everyone has the potential to find their own answers to their problems. The relationship between you and me as your counsellor is vital so you feel able to be fully transparent, explore your feelings and speak openly.

"You know what is best for you", and I will endeavour to help you find out what that is.

The integretive part of the approach takes into account you as an individual and your circumstances it uses elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems.

How do I book a Free Introduction call?

Contact me through the Get in Touch page of the main website or call 07821669859, If I am unavailable to answer the call at that time please leave me a short message with your contact number and I will contact you to book in a 15 minute chat. Contact from me will usually be within 48 hours of your request.

What happens If I need to Cancel an appointment?

I do ask that you give me at least 24 hours notice of any cancellation. I understand that things happen and I am open to discuss the option of rescheduling for a different time that week (if I have availability) Sessions cancelled with at least 24 hours notice will not be charged. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or sessions not attended without cancellation will be charged at the full session rate.

How many Sessions will I need?

This type of counselling is person specific, there is no agenda, no script to follow, just what you want to talk about, explore and change. We will discuss initially what it is you would like to acheive from your sessions and reveiw this regularly together. In short, it is different for everyone and guided by you and your needs.

What People Say...



"Claire I just wanted to thank you for everything that you have done to help me move on and change how I respond to the way others behave which means I'm changing patterns that don't help me anymore"

Being able to say out loud what I need to say without having to worry about it upsetting you has allowed me to consider my relationship in a different way and accept the part I play in it. People have always given me advice before and then I have felt like I needed to act on what they said even if it was to my own detriment.

I have talked about things that I have never spoken to anyone about before. I still don't fully understand how this all works but I have trusted the process like you said and for the first time in my adult life I am making decisions based on what is right for me.
