Hello, I am John Hicks, a Cambridgeshire based Therapeutic Counsellor.

Congratulations on taking the first step in addressing your emotional pain.

It can feel quite lonely when we feel that we cannot talk with someone about what is bothering us. I am so glad that you are considering partnering with a therapeutic counsellor to help you to address that pain.

Clients come to me to support them in building their sense of resilience when experiencing emotional challenges associated with:

  • Neurodiversity (specifically the emotional impact of Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder).

  • Parenting.

  • Bereavement and loss.

  • Developing careers.

  • Poor self-esteem.

  • Depression.

  • Managing relationships.

FAQ’s about working with me.

 
  • All my counselling sessions last for one hour.

  • I would recommend that you meet on a weekly basis with me so that you build up momentum and give yourself the best opportunities for growth.

    I can meet with you fortnightly but weekly seems to work the best with clients.

  • My standard rate per session is £75 inc vat. If you book more than one session upfront then each session costs £60 inc vat.

  • That is a difficult question to answer as every client has a different set of needs.

    Some people meet with me for a few sessions and some can be with me for many months.

    The number of sessions you take will be decided by you. I want you to get what you need and I won’t pressure you into having more sessions than you actually need.

  • I offer my clients three ways to meet for counselling:

    1. In person at my therapy room in Sawston, Cambridgeshire,

    2. Via an online platform such as Zoom or MS Teams,

    3. Over the telephone.

  • If you consider yourself to be Neurodiverse or have a diagnosis, I can help you to understand what that means for you and explore unlocking your potential. Often there are challenges with anxiety that can hold one back from demonstrating their strengths. This is a common theme that I work with neurodiverse clients on.

  • It doesn’t matter where you are based, I can work with you!

    I can obviously provide counselling with clients in Cambridgeshire working with anxiety, depression, grief etc on a face to face basis but I have also worked with clients in the US, the Middle East, New Zealand and across Europe using Zoom and MS Teams.

    If you would like to work with me please do not let distance be a problem. It is not a problem for me!
