FAQ
Who is counselling for?
Anyone who feels they would benefit from talking to a professional, qualified counsellor about their problems, worries or fears. Often there is a misconception that to warrant counselling you have to be in ‘crisis.’ This is not true! The earlier you start sessions the better.
How do I make an enquiry?
Call, text or send an email via the contact page. We will then arrange a mutually convenient time to have a 10-20 minute phone call or meet online for an initial consultation. The consultation is free of charge.
What happens next?
The initial telephone/zoom consultation lasts up to 20 minutes. During this consultation we will discuss your reasons for coming to counselling. If we agree counselling may help support you, we will then decide how we will work together, our expectations and any changes you may want support with. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We will then book your first session. Payments for counselling sessions are paid in advance in order to confirm the session.
How long do sessions last?
Each further session lasts for 50 minutes and are weekly. I work in 6 session blocks with a review session to check how you are finding the sessions and progress. The total number of sessions depends on how things are progressing and is mutually agreed.
What should I expect?
I believe that Counselling is most effective when you, the client, feels totally at ease. I therefore strive to make you feel comfortable and secure throughout the sessions. We will always work at your pace.
As your counsellor I am committed to helping empower you to look at your own processes, to raise your self-awareness and understanding. I will fully support you to explore the options that are available to you to make the changes you desire.
