Following initial contact either via email or mobile phone, we would arrange an assessment appointment. This would be an opportunity for you to ask questions and explore whether I am the right counsellor for you.
I endeavour to create a supportive, non-judgemental environment in which you will be given time and space to understand and gain insight into your situation. This process can foster growth and lead to positive change in your life.
Counselling can be draining at times as difficult feelings can come up. This means that sometimes it might feel as though you are getting worse and struggling to manage. However this is often part of the process and it means that your feelings are being processed. If you get worried about this and find it very difficult in between sessions it is important to talk about it.
Clients often ask how many session they are going to need. This is very difficult to know at the beginning and it depends on what your expectations of counselling are and the issues you wish to explore. However it is a collaborative process and we would discuss this during regular reviews of the counselling process.

It can be helpful sometimes to have a telephone conversation before arranging an initial assessment session. If this is what you wish to do I can offer 15 min free consultation over the phone at an agreed time.
