Lavender Lane counselling is based in Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. It's close to Watford and near an exit for the M25. There are bus routes and a train line nearby. I also offer counselling online so can work with people based in Europe and the UK

There is no right or wrong issue to bring to counselling no worry is to big or too small. If is something that's troubling you then I am here to listen. This time is for you and I encourage you to use the time as you need it.

Each 50 minute session is £55 regardless of the format of counselling you choose (face to face, online)

I accept payments through BACS, cash and also if you have private health insurance with BUPA we can look to go through this.

Typically a regular session lasts 50 minutes. Although I do offer longer or shorter sessions if applicable.

There is no set amount of sessions you will need, as everyone is different and it's dependent on what you'd like from counselling. Some people find that short term counselling is enough for them and it gives them the opportunity to work on a more specific issue, or perhaps gain some coping skills, while others prefer to continue with more long term support or work on things a little more in depth. However the choice is ultimately yours. There is no obligation or pressure to continue sessions. I would encourage you to talk about this in session so we can have a finish to our work.

At least to begin with, I'd encourage you to attend weekly sessions. However this isn't set in stone and is flexible to your individual needs. If you have any worries around this, please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss it further.

Please provide 24 hours’ notice of cancellation where possible. Without this, the fee could still be charged. Please note that I would politely request that this is done either by email or text.

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to me and with that in mind, I want to reassure you that our sessions are private between yourself and I. However there are some limits to this confidentiality. This would be a serious concern for your safety or the safety of those around you. If this was the case, I'd do my best to speak to you about these concerns before taking any further action but this may not always be possible. You'll be provided with more information around confidentiality and its limits if you decide to proceed with counselling.
