The Counselling Sessions

Counselling enables you to make changes in order to cope with the difficulties that arrive in your life from time to time

If you are struggling and have no-one to share your private thoughts or feelings with then meeting with a counsellor may help you

It can be a great relief to be able to talk about yourself without the judgements or advice that can come from well meaning friends or relations
 
For everyone there comes a time in their life when they face difficult situations 
Maybe the people they normally turn to for help are not available

If you are going through a difficult or challenging time in your life it might help to talk to a professional counsellor - many times people just need a private space

The time to explore their thoughts and feelings
An opportunity to express themselves without being judged

I can offer time and space in an environment where you’ll be supported
Safe enough to explore difficult issues if you want to

Initial Consultation

I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation by phone where we can see if we are suited to each other
We can have a chat about what has been going on for you at present and whether counselling would be helpful for you at this moment in time

It will give you an opportunity to ask me about what therapy I offer and would give you a feel of what it would be like to work with me

​At this stage, if you want to proceed, we will book an initial assessment
​

Assessments

In an assessment I usually invite you to tell me more about what is currently going on for you,
​a bit about what it's been like in the past for you and what your hopes are from the therapy
By the end of this session we can then decide together how best to proceed;
or if the therapy should be open-ended or whether we agree on a number of sessions, or even if I feel that it would be more appropriate to offer a referral to another service

​The assessment appointment lasts for 50 minutes
