What is Counselling

The Counselling Journey – Help is at hand

Introduction / Assessment

First, I will offer an assessment session. This is where you will meet with me as your counsellor, and together we gather information about you and explore the therapy journey. This also allows you to ask any questions and see if therapy is right for you. I can offer time-limited or long-term therapy – the sessions take place weekly or fortnightly and last for around 50 minutes.

Progression

Together, on a regular basis, we review your progress to ensure that your expectations and goals are being met. My counselling is worked around you and your personal needs and we will work to set up a therapy contract. However, if at any time you feel you do not wish to continue your journey, you are free to end your counselling at any time.

If you’d like to know more about how counselling can help you deal with issues such as bereavement, depression, stress, anxiety and sexual abuse, please contact me for more information.
