What is Counselling
The term counselling can be and has been defined in many different ways, but for the and the way I work it means the following:
An honest, warm and real relationship aiming to establish a safe non-judgemental environment where you can feel confident that you and your concerns are being heard and you are given a space for self-exploration and a chance to enhance self-awareness and confidence.
Our relationship is based on trust and truth and I will aim to see the world through your eyes and help you to make sense of it in your own time and space.
The process is bound by strict confidentiality framed within limits and boundaries which have been agreed between both of us.
The Counselling Journey
Following an initial assessment; for clients who prefer to work time limited we can agree the length of time you will be working together, this will usually be from 6-12 sessions in the first instance and will be reviewed as the weeks progress. For clients who prefer to work open-ended, work will also be regularly reviewed to ensure the work is meeting your goals and expectations.
Where possible we will meet once a week at the same time and location (face to face or online). Each session will last for 50 minutes for individual counselling. Family counselling tends to be between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of participants.
