What to expect
When starting your counselling journey
Starting anything new in life can feel daunting, and you may be unsure of what to expect from counselling.
It is perfectly natural to experience a range of emotions before your first session - Nerves, excitement, doubt, curiosity - all are welcome!
In the session
We will start off with a few exploratory questions to assess what you are experiencing, and how you might like counselling to help.
You may have certain goals you want to work towards, or maybe you are looking for a more general sense of support in your everyday life.
Perhaps you just want to better understand yourself, or build your confidence.
Whatever your specific needs, we can establish a way of working on them, together.
The process of counselling
I work on an open ended basis, providing both short or long term therapy for clients.
There is no obligation to commit to a certain number of sessions - However, most people find weekly or fortnightly sessions suits them well, and have a positive impact on the flow of therapy.
The main thing to remember is that there is no rush and no pressure - we will work at your pace and cover whatever material feels most important to you at the time.
