Use my contact form (below) to make swift contact for Relationship Counselling.
I will aim to reply to you within two working days (very often much sooner). Exceptions may include bank holidays and my own vacations.
You are getting in contact to enquire about arranging your initial session(s) of counselling, so my contact form asks for details of both partners in a couple relationship, and all partners wishing to attend therapy in a polyamorous group relationship. I will respond to everyone simultaneously.
You’re also asked for an idea on when you’d prefer to meet (date/time). Choose carefully; if our first session is helpful this will be our ongoing weekly appointment day and time… until we’re done.

The Process for First-time Counselling
After you have sent in your enquiry:
- I’ll confirm receipt of your message and (if you’ve selected preferred days/times) I’ll confirm the appointment(s) is(are) available. I’ll also send you some documentation to inform you as to the arrangements for counselling.
- At this time I’ll invite you to send your £30 deposit. This will be your confirmation of accepting my initial-appointment offer.
- Once your deposit is received, I’ll confirm our appointment day & time and send you information for connecting to our remote/video session.
- We’ll then meet for our first session together (on the day of the appointment, you’ll send the remainder of the fee).
- Should our first session suggest to us that continuing to work together would be helpful, we’ll arrange further weekly sessions (booked automatically for the same day and time), bringing our work to a close when we’re done sufficiently for the relationship to continue alone.
Information Asked For.
In the contact form you will find I’m asking for every partner who will be attending therapy (names, age, gender ID, telephone numbers and email addresses). This is so that I can reply to everyone at the same time, and everyone has the opportunity to respond to what’s being discussed.
If there’s a problem for you with this approach (e.g. because of a situation of abuse) then I will understand if you wish to contact me without your partner(s) knowing. You and I might have to figure out a way to bring your partner(s) up to speed with what is being discussed in their absence if they are to particulate in counselling with you.
Appointment times: you’ll see a list of available days & times further down this page.

 | RED APPOINTMENTS are most popular - they are regularly the first to go. |
Appointments are weekly: same time, same day, same location, same counsellor.
We work for as long as we all think it's helpful, or for an agreed number of sessions if preferred.
Once you've decided on a date and time, this session is yours for as long as you need it. Your appointment time will not be offered to anyone else.
You pay for sessions weekly (cash, cheque, credit card, debit card).
To end counselling: it is preferable to bring up thoughts about ending rather than attending a session and declaring, "I'm ending today." This is because the desire to end can sometimes be a mask for something else, such as fear, inability to be angry, acting out abandonment, and so on.
When we've agreed on an end date, counselling sessions come to a close as planned.
