Therapy – Jayne Howie Counselling

Types of Therapy that I Offer

An integrated approach which includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Gestalt, Humanistic, Person Centred, Relational, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness and relaxation . Some difficulties can be worked through in short term work and other situations require longer term work. This is something we can discuss together when we explore your experiences so far and then start to seek a way forward suited to you.

Private Counselling Sessions

Counselling is a very personal experience, its important to get the right match, therefore the first contact is key in helping you decide if we can work together. I offer and initial short consultation, over the phone to establish what your situation is and to help you decide if I am the right person to help you.

Each counselling sessions thereafter last about 55 minutes and the rate is £40 per hour. I will work with you in a block of sessions and then we will have a review session to allow us both to assess where we have got to and whether further sessions would be helpful. I will formulate a working agreement with you which aims to provide you with a structure within which I work and it can be renegotiate or add to as appropriate during the course of the counselling.
