Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find answers to some of the more common questions I’ve received. Read on to learn more about my services. If you feel like you did not find the answer you were looking for, feel free to contact me for more information. I’m always happy to hear from people who are interested in starting therapy.
How much do sessions cost?
Session cost are dictated by risk and case load. A discussion of service cost will occur within the initial assessment.
As a guide, Millicent's service cost start from £30 to £50 depending on complexity.
How many sessions can I have?
Millicent works on an open-ended basis.
This means she does not set an allotted number of sessions, yet works with your goals. Millicent has been working open-ended for many years and naturally can tell when a client may no longer need her services. That said, clients can also dictate the number of sessions.
For effective therapy Millicent recommends a minimum of 12 sessions to unpack presenting concerns and process them. In bigger cases, Millicent has also seen weekly clients for over a year, so there is no pressure regarding the number of sessions you wish to have.
Where are you based?
Currently, Millicent is an associate at Sunrise Wellbeing Therapy Centre in Groby. Millicent uses one of Sunrise's confidential rooms to hold her sessions on Thursdays and Fridays, and she offers in-person sessions at her home practice in Rempstone, Loughborough, on Tuesdays, as well as providing an online service via video calls most weekdays.
Why see a therapsit?
Typically people chose to seek out therapy due to needing support with concerns, specifically where this type of support may not have been found in other areas of their life.
This assistance can be seen in therapy as guided support, a confidential space for exploration of the self, learning and developing new coping mechanisms, or guidance navigating life events.
How long are sessions?
Millicent holds 50 minute sessions.
These can be weekly or fortnightly therapy sessions.
When a client feels they no longer need consistent therapy, Millicent then offers monthly check in session if requested.
Is counselling/ psychotherapy for me?
Millicent believes there are no "exclusion" criteria for seeking / receiving therapy, she feels that anyone can benefit from a counselling experience no matter how small or big an individual's problem is thought to be. Counselling can be used to explore traumatic experiences, day to day thoughts and feelings, to learn about who you are, or used help you work on life goals / towards achievements.
Millicent's smallest goal within your therapy session is to allow you the space to freely talk, whether that is about past experiences or issues faced that week. Therapy is not all about exploring negative events, cognitions or feelings, Millicent will use the therapy space with you to explore happy moments, achievements or positive experiences, building your self-compassion and belief in yourself.
How are sessions conducted?
This service is a mix of online video calls and in-person sessions which are one-to-one 50-minute slots.
Millicent uses both Google Meet and Microsoft Teams to hold video call sessions.
