Extended Counselling Sessions
Because real change needs room to breathe.
Service Description
Some stories need more room to breathe. Extended sessions allow the space for deeper regulation, insight, and transformation—especially for those processing trauma or long-standing patterns. Research shows that longer sessions can enhance emotional integration, strengthen therapeutic alliance, and allow access to layers of experience that shorter sessions may only surface. These extended times provide a steady arc: time to arrive, explore, and settle—so what’s been carried for years can finally begin to release.
Cancellation Policy
I offer face-to-face counselling in a quiet, private setting designed to support honest reflection and meaningful change. Our work together is collaborative, respectful, and paced according to your needs. Confidentiality: What you share in session is treated with care and discretion. Information is kept confidential except where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, where I am legally required to report (e.g. certain forms of abuse), or where de-identified details are discussed in professional supervision to support good practice. Sessions and fees: Standard sessions run for approximately 90-120 minutes. Current fees and available session lengths are listed on my booking information; you’re welcome to ask if you have any questions before we begin. Cancellations: If you need to reschedule or cancel, please provide as much notice as possible (at least 48 hours is appreciated). Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee, as that time has been set aside specifically for you. Contact between sessions: You’re welcome to contact me between sessions for brief, practical matters such as rescheduling. Therapeutic work is kept within session times, so I may not always be available immediately. Crisis support: My service is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please contact: Emergency Services: 000 Lifeline (24/7): 13 11 14 By attending an in-person session, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this in-person counselling policy.
