Frequently Asked Questions
Is the first session really free?
Yes. Your initial assessment session is completely free of charge. This gives us both an opportunity to explore together whether working with me feels right for you, before you commit to ongoing therapy.
How long are therapy sessions?
Regular counselling sessions are typically 50 minutes, held weekly where possible. Fortnightly sessions can sometimes be arranged depending on availability.
How much does counselling cost?
Sessions are £60 per session following your free initial consultation. I offer concessions for low income, keyworkers, OAPs, students, trainee counsellors, unemployed, and refugees—please ask during your first session.
Do you offer online sessions?
Face-to-face is my preferred way of working, as it allows the therapeutic relationship to develop in a grounded and personal way — sessions take place at my private counselling space in St. Mary Hoo, Rochester. Walk and Talk therapy is also available along the country lanes of St. Mary Hoo (appropriate footwear recommended), and online sessions via Zoom may be arranged where appropriate — just ask when you get in touch.
Is everything confidential?
Yes, everything you share is completely confidential with only a few legal exceptions (serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or serious crime). I do not share information with family, friends, or anyone outside our therapeutic relationship.
What if I don't feel comfortable working with Tracie?
That's completely okay — this decision is entirely yours to make. The first session is as much a chance for you to get a sense of whether this feels right as it is for me to consider whether I have the right experience for what you need. If your needs fall outside my area of expertise, I will talk this through with you with care and help you think about the most appropriate next step.
Do you work with crisis situations?
I support people experiencing emotional crisis including suicidal thoughts, with great care and non-judgement. However, if you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis line. I am not a crisis service and cannot provide emergency support outside of sessions.
How do I cancel or reschedule?
Please give as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule. Cancellations made 24 hours in advance are no charge. Short notice cancellations may incur a fee.
