MEET OUR THERAPISTS
At The Hill Counselling Practice, we recognise that in order for you to get the most out of your sessions, you need to be able to build a good relationship with your therapist. That’s why all of our therapists offer you a consultation as a way of understanding your difficulties, offer you an informed opinion as to whether psychotherapy can help and give you an initial sense of whether you'll ‘click’.
If after a consultation we think one of our team will be better match for you, we’ll let you know.
