What to expect:

At your first session I will inform you about confidentiality and your rights as a counselling client.  This is also the time to bring up your main concerns, your expectations and goals of counselling.  You may also decide how many sessions will be appropriate to enable you to reach your goals, this can be reviewed as counselling proceeds.

Regular sessions will include, a review of where you are today, respectful listening, emotional processing and time for reflection and deciding your next steps.  At each stage you are encouraged to let me know if you are uncomfortable or unsure and the counselling session will proceed at your own pace.

Methods:
  • Non-judgmental listening with Client-Centred Therapy.
  • Relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices to alleviate anxiety and stress, re-connect with your inner self and gain peace and clarity.
