GETTING STARTED
Initial Consultation Process
The first step is to get in touch for a brief, no-obligation phone consultation. This 20-minute conversation allows us to discuss what you're looking for, answer any initial questions, and determine if we might be a good fit to work together.
During this call, I'll explain how I work, and you can share a little about your current situation and what you hope to achieve. If we both feel it would be helpful to proceed, I will send you a questionnaire to complete and return. From there, we can arrange our first full session.
This initial conversation is completely confidential, and there's no pressure to commit to ongoing counselling. It's simply an opportunity to connect and determine if my approach aligns with your needs. This session is offered to you at no risk. If we decide not to proceed with working together for whatever reason, there will be no charge.
Booking and Contact
To arrange your initial consultation, you can contact me directly via email. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
When you get in touch, please include your preferred contact method and any times that work best for you. I'll then arrange a suitable time for our initial phone consultation.
For ongoing sessions, we'll find a regular weekly slot that works for both of us. I maintain a consistent schedule to provide stability and continuity in our therapeutic work.
Fees and Payment
Individual Counselling sessions are £80 per 50-minute session. Payment can be made in cash at the end of the session or by bank transfer within 24 hours after the session.
If cost is a concern, please discuss this with me during our initial consultation. I may have limited lower-fee spaces available for those experiencing financial hardship.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel a session, I ask that you give at least 48 hours' notice; otherwise, the session fee will still be payable.
For planned absences such as holidays or work travel, we can discuss scheduling around these commitments during our regular sessions.
Session Locations
I offer both online and in-person counselling sessions to accommodate different preferences and circumstances.
Online sessions are conducted via a secure, encrypted video platform that ensures your privacy and confidentiality are protected. You'll need a reliable internet connection and a private space where you won't be interrupted.
In-person sessions take place in consulting rooms either near London Bridge station or in the Shoreditch/Old Street area.
We can discuss which format works best for you, and it's possible to alternate between online and in-person sessions if your circumstances change.
What to Bring to Your First Session
Compassionate, specialised support for those dealing with childhood trauma, complex PTSD, bereavement, or significant loss. This service offers a safe environment for processing difficult experiences at your own pace, fostering resilience and healing.
This work supports adults who have experienced childhood trauma, developmental trauma, complex PTSD, recent bereavement, significant loss, or those struggling with the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences on their daily life and relationships.
I use trauma-informed counselling with gentle exploration techniques, somatic awareness, and evidence-based approaches. We work slowly and safely to process traumatic memories, reduce emotional overwhelm, and rebuild a sense of safety and connection with yourself.
Clients often experience reduced trauma symptoms, improved emotional regulation, decreased hypervigilance or dissociation, better sleep patterns, and increased ability to form healthy relationships. Many report feeling more grounded and present in their daily lives.
“Working with Guy has been a life-changing, transformative process. He offered me the time and space to vocalise, understand, and ultimately grieve my trauma. ”
