How can counselling help?

Counselling is for anyone who is facing difficulties in their life. It provides a safe, confidential place to be heard by a therapist who is qualified and trained to listen in an understanding and non-judgemental way. Your reasons for coming to counselling will be personal to you, but for many of us, when life is challenging, we can become overwhelmed and may feel anxious, depressed, ashamed and alone. The counselling relationship can help to ease feelings of isolation, and provides caring support which not only helps people to cope but also helps them to become more confident in themselves and be able to find their own inner resources to deal with their problems. 

 


How it works

Sessions are 1 hour long and are generally scheduled at an agreed time, usually weekly or fortnightly. The number of sessions required varies from person to person, depending on their particular needs. In the initial session we will talk about your specific requirements, discuss any concerns or queries you may have and you can decide if you feel comfortable to work with me.

All sessions are confidential as per the BACP (British Ass.of Counselling & Psychotherapy) guidelines. I will explain what this means at your first session.
