What is Counselling?
Counselling is a talking therapy, which takes place in a safe and confidential space. It provides an environment from which self-analysis and reflection can be used to consider your world and yourself within that world. Dialogue around things in your life that may be causing challenges or difficulties, can help towards awareness, perspective and understanding of these challenges, and offer growth beyond difficulties.
How often should I have sessions?
Generally sessions would be weekly, but they can also be fortnightly and perhaps other frequencies. We adopt a flexible approach to suit your circumstances.
How many sessions should I have?
This is entirely up to you. There is no obligation for a set number of sessions. Some people have 6 sessions, whilst others have 12 and sometimes more. This is entirely up to you, and how you feel within the process. These sessions are yours and the decision is yours.
How does the payment process work?
Payment is via Bank transfer. Further details will be provided as and when required.
Do I have to pay for my initial telephone call?
Your initial call is free, and there is no obligation. What’s important is that we start to build a connection, start getting to know each other, speak about what brings you to Counselling, and answer any questions you may have.
I’m not used to speaking about things that are troubling me, how will I be able to do that in Counselling?
It’s about building a connection in an environment where you feel safe. We start with a conversation, and continue that conversation. You and your story are as important as anyone else’s, and Counselling offers someone to hear you, and someone to hear your story.
