Please note 鈥� I have greater flexibility for Online/Telephone sessions 鈥� for example, I can offer evening sessions beyond my 18:00 In-Person session closing time.

Although these are my set hours, if you would be interested working with me outside of the above hours please feel free to contact me as I may be able to offer alternative slots to cater to your needs.

The key to any therapeutic work lies within the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client; to that end I offer a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space for my clients. My aim as a therapeutic professional is to work collaboratively with my clients to build a trusting and caring environment and one within which a client can grow and explore in the way that they want.

Working in a Person-Centred way ensures that I am truly empathic to you as an individual, I work in a boundaried way to ensure that you and our work are safe, and any decisions are made by you.

Don鈥檛 just take my work for it 鈥� here are what former clients have said about my work and our work together:

- 鈥淢any thanks for your support and guidance over the past 10 months. It has been a meaningful experience working with you, and I truly appreciate everything that you鈥檝e helped me with.鈥�

- 鈥淎 big thank you for all your help & support during our sessions over the last few months. It鈥檚 been hugely beneficial. I鈥檒l miss our Friday sessions.鈥�

- 鈥淵our presence has helped me challenge my own perceptions. I have found you approachable, compassionate and you have always listened to me.鈥�

- 鈥淵ou have always listened to me and supported me through some very difficult and traumatic material. I have found our work safe and you to be trustworthy.鈥�

How I work

My Counselling practice draws upon 3 Counselling modalities:

1) Person-Centred Counselling

2) Psychodynamic Counselling

3) Gestalt Counselling

I work In-Person, Online and over the Phone 

I offer counselling sessions in three formats:

1) In-Person

2) Online (Video or Audio)

3) Telephone (Video or Audio)

For further detail see below.

All counselling sessions are 50 minutes long by default 鈥� I would be happy to do longer/shorter sessions at a pro-rata rate - you can find more information out by visiting my website - andrewharriscounselling.com

1) In-Person

In-person counselling sessions are 50 minutes long by default 鈥� although, as outlined on my fee page, sessions can be longer/shorter.

I offer in person counselling sessions at my home address in my counselling room within the BS30 postcode of Bristol. The sessions are held within my conservatory at the rear of the house offering privacy and confidentiality. Access to my counselling room is made via a side gate to ensure that sessions are separate to the rest of the house. I have provided a picture below of the counselling room which you can view on my website https://andrewharriscounselling.co.uk/counselling-sessions-with-me/ Please note: I do not have toilet facilities available 鈥� there is a retail park within a 5 minute walk that contains shops with toilet facilities.

2) Online

Online counselling sessions are 50 minutes long by default 鈥� although, as outlined on my fee page, can be longer/shorter.

Online sessions are held on the video call platform Google Meet and I will send out a link each week prior to a session via the email that you provide me with.

3) Telephone

Telephone counselling sessions are 50 minutes long by default 鈥� although, as outlined on my fee page, can be longer/shorter.

Telephone sessions are held over the phone and I will call you on the number that you provide me with 鈥� please note that, I when I call you, it might be from a withheld number.

- Assessment sessions are charged at 拢30 鈥� assessment sessions are 50 minutes long

- Please note 鈥� I require this to be paid in advance of the assessment session

- I offer a free 15 minute consultation over the phone if you have any questions about me or my practice prior to any paid work thereafter

I believe that any Counselling should be undertaken with a Counsellor that you feel comfortable with 鈥� that is why I offer a discounted assessment session rate of 拢30. This is with the intent of offering a chance for us to get to know one another, for you to hear more about my way of working and my practice, and for you to get a sense of whether or not I am the Counsellor that you would like to work with.

After meeting with me for the assessment session, or at any point during our work together thereafter, I offer a discounted rate if you block book in with me in advance.

After the assessment session you can:

Book in for one session at a time at a charge of 拢50 per session

Block book in for 5 sessions at a charge of 拢45 per session (拢225 total) - please note that the full amount needs to be paid up front

Block book in for 10 sessions at a charge of 拢40 per session (拢400 total) - please note that the full amount needs to be paid up front
