What happens during a counselling session?
Counselling takes place when a counsellor sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having. In your first session we will discuss:
I will listen attentively and patiently, without judging. Drawing on my training, I will encourage you to express your feelings. I will support you in exploring various aspects of your life and feelings. Acknowledging the difficulties from your point of view, I will try to help you see things more clearly, possibly from a different perspective.
My approach is inclusive and relationship-based, drawing on the humanistic work of Carl Rogers. Working within an ethical framework, I will try to help reduce the confusion you may feel and to better understand the choices you have. I am an integrative counsellor meaning I integrate different approaches into my work and tailor my work to suit the individual client.
Sessions usually last 60 minutes. One session per week is usual. I can provide short-term or long-term therapy, according to your needs and requirements.
If you would like to discuss further how I can help, or to request an appointment, please contact me initially via the form on the Make Contact page.
