Question 1

What is therapy?

Answer

Therapeutic Counselling is a talking therapy that gives people space and time to acknowledge and address personal issues in a confidential, safe and non judgemental environment.
‍
My priority is to listen with empathy and compassion at all times.
The goal is to engaging personal agency, intuition, insight and internal wisdom. This enables people to reflect and explore thoughts and feelings.
Working with critical internal narratives is naturally apart of this work.
‍
Another aim of counselling is to enable you to increase understanding of yourself and self acceptance. Barriers to personal growth often emerge in the process of counselling, as do unproductive internal narratives. These are emerge naturally, or they can raised to become a focus of our work.

Question 2

How do I start?

Answer

Our initial session allows us to explain why you want counselling and what you want to get out of it. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, so that you may gauge your comfort working closely with me.
If you feel uncomfortable or uncertain that I am the right counsellor, there will be no obligation for you to continue. I will be happy to refer you to another potential counsellor.
‍
Sessions are usually fifty minutes, once a week at the same time.
The length of the counselling depends upon the client’s individual needs. Short term counselling may be appropriate, typically dealing with a specific issue and lasting six to twelve sessions. Alternatively, I offer ongoing psychotherapy, which is treated as open-ended.
‍
Transitioning away from counselling is approached with care to ensure that you feel more able to deal with your feelings, and more comfortable in your situation. Should you encounter new difficulties or feel the genuine need to return to our sessions, we will be happy to arrange new sessions, both short and long term..

Question 4
