Session timing and frequency
Psychotherapy & Counselling or Coaching (including help with spiritual issues) usually takes place weekly in a session lasting just under an hour. Occasionally sessions can take place more or less frequently and/or longer sessions can be negotiated in advance.
Shamanic journeying usually takes place fortnightly, to allow time for assimulation between sessions. Shamanic journeying sessions last for between 80 and 120 minutes (averaging 90 minutes) and are charged on a pro-rata basis.
The initial session
in the initial session of Counselling, Psychotherapy or Coaching I can tell you more about the way I work and you can say what leads you to consider Counselling & Psychotherapy or Coaching. From this we can decide whether we will work with one another.
Shamanic Journeying first sessions are different in format and are always preceeded by a telephone conversation with you where I can explain this.
