What happens in the first session?

The first session is a chance for us to meet and for you to share, in your own words, what has brought you to counselling. There is no pressure to disclose everything at once — we move at your pace. I will explain how I work, answer any questions you have, and together we can decide whether working together feels right for you. There is no obligation to continue.

How much does counselling cost?

I charge £60 per 50 minute initial consultation and session thereafter, payable via bank transfer 48 hours prior to each session.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies from person to person and depends on what you are bringing to counselling. Some people find that a short course of sessions — perhaps six to twelve — gives them what they need. Others prefer longer-term work. We will review progress together regularly, and you are always free to end or pause at any time.

Is counselling confidential?

Yes. Everything you share in our sessions is held in strict confidence. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework, which means confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work together. There are a small number of legal exceptions — for example, if I had serious concerns about your safety or the safety of others — but I would always aim to discuss this with you first.

Welcome

A space that is truly yours

I'm Roberta, a BACP Member and Integrative Counsellor based in Sutton, Surrey. I offer you a safe, confidential space where you can explore what's troubling you — at your own pace, without judgement.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, bereavement, or navigating life's transitions, I understand that seeking counselling is daunting and I'm here to help you find your way forward. I bring over 20 years of experience supporting people with disabilities and neurodiversity, alongside a deep commitment to integrative practice.

Counselling is not about being told what to do. It is about having the space to understand yourself more fully — and from that understanding, finding your own path.

My Approach

Therapy shaped around you

I work integratively, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than following a single rigid model. At the heart of my practice is Person-Centred Therapy — the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and that the right conditions for growth are warmth, honesty and genuine acceptance.

I also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy, which explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns can shape the way we feel and behave today. Understanding these connections can be quietly transformative.

What this means in practice is that our work together is tailored to you. I listen carefully, follow your lead, and bring in different tools and perspectives as and when they feel useful.

A foundation you can trust

My practice is built on formal training, professional registration and over two decades of real-world experience.
