Counselling & what to expect....

The first counselling session can be daunting and sometimes having an idea about what will happen can allow you to feel more at ease. During your first session, we will talk through an agreement for our work together, we can then discuss your concerns and expectations. I believe that it is important for you to feel comfortable with me, which can enable us to work together effectively through your journey.

The process will vary depending on your individual needs and goals, but it will typically involve the following phases:

• Assessment: This phase involves getting to know you and your concerns, and understanding your goals for therapy.
• Goal setting: Once we have a good understanding of your needs, we will work together to set specific goals for therapy.
• Intervention: This phase involves using a variety of techniques to help you achieve your goals. These techniques may include talking therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, or other approaches.
• Evaluation: Throughout the therapy process, we will evaluate your progress and make adjustments as needed.
• Termination: When you are ready, we will work together to terminate therapy in a way that is helpful and supportive.

You may not be sure if counselling is right for you, or you may want to try it for a few sessions before deciding, that is perfectly fine. 

My counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and take place weekly at an agreed time and place.
