First session

Our first session is where we take the time to find out about you, your goals for therapy and how we will work together. We run through the counselling contract, should you decide to enter into further sessions, and a more in depth  explanation about counselling, the way that we work and an opportunity to address any concerns you may have as well as any questions. This allows you to establish whether you would feel comfortable continuing your counselling journey with us or if you would prefer to utilise another professional. Our professional therapeutic relationship is a key part of the process, so it is important that we feel that we can work together. You are the expert on yourself, we are there to facilitate you exploring and finding your own solutions. It is a professional balanced relationship of equals.

Ongoing sessions

As an individual, you are unique. This means the number of sessions and the frequency of those sessions are in your control.  At periodic intervals we will review the progress of our sessions, so that we can establish collaboratively whether your goal has been achieved, whether further exploration is needed or even if there is a revised goal. There is total autonomy for you as the client and it is about what is right for you.
