THE SESSIONS
The Counselling Process
To get the most from your counselling journey it is important to be consistent. Some sessions will feel more helpful than others, but it's important to realise that on the journey with your Therapist everything they do is designed to help you in the long run, even if it doesn't feel like it in the beginning.
​
It's worth remembering that counselling is not a quick fix, and that your Therapist will not tell you what to do. The counselling process requires a strong relationship between both you and your counsellor and a degree of effort on your part - together these two elements create a successful method in helping you resolve your issues.
​
Our Therapists attend regular supervision. This is part of an ongoing commitment to professional standards and development.
​
We reserve the right to break confidentiality and contact any other appropriate service or person if we consider you to be of risk to yourself or to others.
​
Sessions last 50 minutes, usually on a weekly basis at an agreed time between yourself and your Therapist.
