What is counselling
There are many definitions of counselling as there are many different models and ways of working. I work in an integrative way using Psychodynamic, Systemic, CBT, Transactional Analysis and Person Centred approaches.
How would we work together
After a brief initial contact by phone or e-mail, I would see you in person for a consultation which lasts 1 hour. This first meeting offers you the time and a supportive confidential space for you to begin a conversation which up to that point you may have been struggling to have. During this meeting we would talk about what prompted you to seek counselling, your needs and how counselling might be helpful.
As part of this first meeting I will discuss with you confidentiality and the British Association of Sexual & Relationship Therapy (BASRT)code of ethics which I adhere to. You can view BASRT code of ethics justCLICK HERE
If we decide that counselling is for you we can discuss the number of session you want, and the frequency of those sessions. You might want to see me each week or every two weeks. We can discuss what would be most appropriate for you. We will also agree a payment for each session. You may feel that you need time to consider if you want to go ahead with counselling or not, if this is the case you can contact me when you have decided.
On-going Counselling
The aim of the work is for us to find a way through any difficulties you may be experiencing. This may be to help you explore a crisis in your life or to talk through deeper issues. My role is to help you explore and understand the issues that may be causing you distress. This may mean looking at your past, present or future. You may feel nervous talking about these issues, I can offer you a caring supportive environment to enable you to talk as openly as possible about yourself and the difficulties you are facing.
