We’re all unique

A client and therapist engaged in a thoughtful discussion in a cozy, professional counseling office, reflecting the supportive environment of Tanya Carter Counselling in Dorset.

Individual therapy

Contact me either by phone or email. Once I’ve received your enquiry, I’ll contact you to arrange a free consultation by phone. This lasts about 20 minutes and gives you the opportunity to ask questions about me and how I work, and for me to find out a bit about yourself and the problems you’d like to address.


At the end of the call, we’ll arrange a mutually convenient date and time for our first appointment – whether in-person, by telephone or online. Before the first session, you’ll be emailed a copy of our counselling contract to read through and sign.

Duration

Each counselling session lasts 50 minutes.

Cost

It is £45 per session. Concessionary spaces are provided for people on low income or students. Please contact me about availability.
