“We can’t control the direction of the wind but we can adjust our sails”
James Dean
It can be such a daunting prospect. The thought of the first session. What to expect?
The first session is all about getting to know one another, getting a feel for sessions and seeing if I’m the right counsellor for you. Counselling is all about the relationship and my aim is to offer a supportive, empathic, non-judgemental environment that allows you to be fully yourself and explore any thoughts and feelings you maybe having. I will always be led by you and we shall travel the therapeutic journey together at your pace.
Sessions last for one hour and are completely confidential. Sometimes when extra support is needed, for example if you are at risk of harm, I may ask for your permission to discuss your needs with another professional, like your GP but rest assured I would always discuss this with you first.
Therapy is not time limited. Some clients have weekly sessions, others fortnightly or monthly. It really depends on what feels right for you.
Counselling costs are £50 per session. Home visit prices vary depending on where you live but start at a cost of £55.
