COUNSELLING AND FAQ's

What is counselling?

Person-centred counselling is a therapeutic approach where I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and authentic environment to help you explore your feelings and find your own solutions. The focus is on self-growth and self-understanding. I will guide and support you as you build your confidence in yourself and offer you unconditional positive regard while you journey towards personal insight and healing.

​

How many counselling sessions will I need?

I offer both short and long term therapy, but how many sessions you might need will depend entirely on you and your needs. We can discuss the amount and duration together at our initial consultation or in your first session.

​

What should I expect at my first session?

At our first appointment together we will discuss why you wanted to come to counselling, any aims you might want to work towards, and any expectations you might have. We can then discuss how we might work together to achieve this and equally address any concerns or questions you might have about the process. You can share with me as much as you feel comfortable with and we can then begin to explore what is going on for you. 

​

A copy of our client and counsellor contract will be emailed to you before your first session. This will set out the professional boundaries of our therapeutic relationship and how your confidentiality will be kept safe. This can also be discussed in our first session if you have any questions or would like to discuss the contents further.
