Appointments for Counselling.
Skype / Zoom Video Counselling
- May 2021: My contribution to us managing our national emergency was to offer my 13 years experience of Zoom/Skype Remote Counselling, suspending 'face-to-face' sessions, and increasing my available hours. As we move out of Lockdown I'll continue to offer nationally-available video services to help us transition back (Video/Webcam Counselling Details).My Skype/Video appointments are Mondays & Thursdays (~noon to 9pm) and Wednesdays (~noon to 4pm). Having agreed on a weekly session day/time this stays with us until we have completed our work (or there’s a need to change).
Decide on your preferred Weekly Day & Time.
Refer to the table (below) when you make Contact with Dean. It shows the weekly appointments that are currently available.
Weekly session lengths are 50 minutes (by default) but can also be of up to 90 minutes when you prefer.

 | NOTICE: Dean is not available from Monday 3rd May to Sunday 9th May (inclusive), though he may still be available to respond to enquiries and emails. Waiting lists are available for unavailable times. |
 | Times shown in red are regularly the first to be booked. |
Counselling sessions are (at a minimum) weekly, last for up to 50 minutes, and on the same day/time each week.
There are options for you to meet with your counsellor more than once a week.
There are also options for you to choose up to 90 minute sessions too.
(Shift-workers: my regular weekly approach & limited hours may not be able to accommodate your shift pattern very well).
Fees are due before or on the day of the session (payable online via banking app transfer, credit/debit card or PayPal, in person using cash, card or cheque [made out to Dean Richardson]).
Ending counselling: Our time together continues for as long (or as brief) as we both think it's being helpful… and when one of us thinks "maybe that's enough" we can begin to look at bringing our work to a close (it can be helpful to bring up the idea of ending counselling to talk it through, just in case our work has brought up something difficult like avoiding difficult feelings, can't say something, acting out etc). Then we'll plan how we'd like to say "goodbye".
