Counselling

First session nerves

What actually happens in hour one with Katie Green — so you are not rehearsing a performance on the drive over.

What this can look like

A script you wrote in the car. Fear you will cry, or fear you will not. Wondering where to sit. Wondering if you are wasting the fee.

How counselling can help

We will not finish your life in 50 minutes. I will explain confidentiality, we will find a pace, and you can bring the messy version. The free 30-minute call exists so hour one is not the first time you hear my voice. £60 for 50 minutes after that.

When it is more than counselling

If you arrive in a state that needs urgent medical or crisis care, we pause therapy and get you to the right help. That is not a failed first session. That is the right first session.
