Frequently Asked Questions
(and answers!)
What are your qualifications?
I hold a Professional Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), a COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills (SCQF Level 7), and a BSc in Psychology.
Is therapy
confidential?
Everything we discuss in your sessions is kept strictly confidential. I follow ethical and legal guidelines to protect your privacy. The only time I may need to break confidentiality is if I believe you or somebody else is at risk - your safety is my top priority.
What counselling experience do you have?
I have two years of experience providing counselling face-to-face, online and by telephone. I’ve worked as a counsellor at Edinburgh College and Health is One.
What’s your social media policy?
You’re welcome to follow and interact with my professional accounts on Instagram and TikTok (@counselling_with_alex). I will protect your privacy by never identifying you as a client. Social media will not be used as a substitute to therapy.
Will you be offering face-to-face sessions?
Right now, I’m offering online and telephone counselling only. That said, I’m planning to offer face-to-face sessions in the future as my private practice grows.
How much do you charge?
Each session is £50
Do you have a question that I haven’t answered?
