Take Control of your Mental Health
What is counselling/therapy, and why should I choose it?
Therapy can help with:
Anxiety
Depression
Low self-esteem
Stress
Trauma
Grief, loss, and bereavement
Addiction
Relationship issues
And more…
Counselling gives you the opportunity to explore your problems in a safe, caring, and non-judgemental space. It can be especially helpful if you are going through a difficult time or feeling confused about what to do. Whether you're worried about the future or ashamed about something in the past. It can offer a space for you to talk about your week, or to explore the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and work together to find a solution.
Lyon Counselling uses a person-centred approach, which is a psychotherapeutic approach where you decide what you want to talk about in each session, and we go at your own pace. You won’t be told what to do or how to feel. Instead, you will be empowered to make your own decisions based on what you feel is best for you.
Services
NO WAITING LIST
You won’t have to wait around. Get an appointment within two weeks.
Usual availability: Monday-Thursday 09:00-19:30. Limited availability on Fridays and weekends. Choose your own day and time that works best for you. Some time slots may be unavailable due to prior bookings.
30 Minute Taster Session FREE
It is important that you get a feel for the therapy before making a commitment to it, so I offer an optional 30 minute free session, which will give you the chance to decide if this therapy is right for you as well as go through parts of the counselling contract.
Standard Rate £40
Each session lasts 1 hour. Sessions are usually held on a weekly basis, but I offer fortnightly sessions if you’d prefer, which you may want to do if you cannot afford weekly sessions. The number of sessions is open-ended. You can cancel at any point.
Student Rate £30
Living as a student can be very expensive, so I offer a discounted rate if you are currently enrolled in a university for any course or if you are a trainee counsellor/psychotherapist. These sessions are identical to the standard sessions.
All sessions are held remotely via Zoom or over the phone.
Note that you must be 18+ years old and a UK resident to access my counselling services. I cannot offer sessions to those living outside of the UK.
