Pricing

Induction session £25

The initial session at Higher Ground Counselling will last 50 minutes and will entail getting know each other briefly, going through a small amount of paperwork; and having a chat (over a cup of tea, if you'd like one) about how the counselling process works and may benefit you. Payment for this session must be made prior to our meeting, via bank transfer; & is non refundable in the event of cancellation.

Further individial sessions

£39

After your induction session - the counselling process will begin. Each session takes place in my comfortable and homely counselling room in Huddersfield; and lasts for fifty minutes. Payments must be made prior to our sessions, either by bank transfer; or in cash on the day. 

In some unforeseen circumstances (Such as the recent lockdown when I'm required to work from home), Face to face clients may be moved to video call sessions via Zoom, as an alternative.

Students

£29

I offer a discounted rate for students.  Proof of benefits or NUS card/ student ID is required at first session.

One off session

£55

A one off session is exactly how it sounds - you just attend once. These sessions are for an hour and a half; and are intended for those who feel that they would just like to feel supported in 'offloading' to someone who can give them non biased support. These sessions are also good for those who feel that they need to get something off their chest confidentially that they've never felt able to tell anyone.

(One off sessions are completely Person Centred and no CBT is available)


Online sessions

£29/£39

Mondays are reserved for clients whom prefer online sessions only, and are the same price as face to face sessions (£29 for full time students and £39 for non full time students.

Sessions are conducted via Zoom, which is easy to install and works in a similar way to Skype and Facetime.

Cancellation policy All missed sessions (Apart from holidays which I'm notified of in advance) will be charged at the rate of £29. This is because once a regular slot has been booked for you, it cannot be taken by another Client.

What's different about the way I work? Why choose Higher Ground?


A Client can finish the counselling process with all the emotional tools they need in order to change their lives for the better;  but because so much ground is covered in sessions, it can be difficult to remember everything. So much useful work is completed in sessions; and I personally believe that it's a shame that the Counsellor is the only one who ends up keeping all the records, only to file them away so that they never sees the light of day until they're shredded five years later!


Higher Ground is different.


  • Not only do I like to keep my fees low and affordable; but I also like to give my Clients more for their money. I have an extensive range of information sheets and work sheets for use in sessions. If I feel that you would benefit from any printed information to relate to specific issues you're facing, I will give you a copy. I have info sheets on self esteem, anxiety, disorders, coping mechanisms, steps towards wellbeing, relaxation exercises and many more. If you feel it's appropriate, we can also fill in worksheets together or you can take them to read and fill in at home. This is especially helpful in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; where techniques are used for addictions, phobias and anxiety based issues. Some people like to read and research in their own time, between sessions; and find that they progress quicker along the counselling journey this way. Of course, not everyone likes to do that, so it is absolutely up to you if you don't want to receive any info sheets. It's not essential to the counselling process. All reading material and worksheets are free of charge. 
  • At the end of the counselling process, you will have the option to receive a copy of any work we have done,
