Barry Hodges-White MSc,

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call for people considering counselling, psychotherapy, or hypnotherapy.

This is a chance to:

• briefly describe what’s bringing you to therapy
   
• ask any questions you may have
   
• get a sense of how I work
   
• see whether it feels like a good fit
   

It’s not an assessment, and you won’t be asked to commit. The focus is on fit and clarity, not pressure.

f we decide to work together, we’ll:

• agree a session time and format (in person or online)
   
• talk through practical details such as fees and availability
   
• move at a pace that feels manageable and appropriate
   

If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, that’s okay too. Finding the right therapist matters, and part of the work is recognising what feels right for you.

You’re welcome to contact me in whichever way feels easiest:

• Email: bhw@hwassociates.org
   
• Phone: 07803 843 578

• Alternatively send me a whatsapp message using the link at the bottom of this page.
   

I aim to respond personally and promptly.

If leaving a voicemail, there’s no need to explain everything — a brief message is enough.

• Sessions are 50 minutes
   
• Appointments are available in person and online
   
• Fees are listed clearly on the Fees page
   
• All contact is treated confidentiall

Many people worry about “getting it wrong” when reaching out for therapy.

There’s no right or wrong way to begin — only a conversation to see whether this feels like the right support for you, at this time.

If you’re curious, that’s enough.
