Practicalities
Sessions
Counselling sessions usually last 50 minutes unless otherwise agreed and can be arranged via email or WhatsApp after our initial meeting. I ask that you kindly cancel 24 hours beforehand if you are unable to attend a session.
​
Location
I am able to meet with clients either via a secure platform online, or, from June 2024, at Espace Corps Esprit in central Montpellier only 3 minutes walk from la Comédie (Trams 1 or 2) close to Place St Come (and Fitzpatrick's) and about 5 minutes walk from Trams 3 & 4.
​
Languages
Counselling sessions can take place in either English or French. I am an English native speaker married to a French husband and have lived, studied and worked in France and French-speaking Switzerland for many years.
​
Fees
Please reach out for details of my fees. I offer a 30 minute call free of charge to see if we are a good fit before we decide to work together. If you cannot access counselling due to financial reasons, I occasionally operate with a sliding scale and this is something that we could discuss to find a fee that works for both of us. Payment is possible via bank transfer or by credit card if preferred.
​
Insurance
Mental health professionals are closely regulated in France (where I now live) and Switzerland (where I carried out my training). Despite my training and qualification and recognition by the Swiss Counseling Association and American Counseling Association, I cannot be recognised as a "psychotherapist" in these countries and this may affect reimbursement from insurance companies.
Equally, some insurers have been able to provide reimbursements for counselling. Due to the wide range of insurance companies and policies, I cannot advise on this matter. If this is of concern to you, please contact your insurance company directly to see what is possible and let me know if you need my support with this.
