My first session:
Your first session will be about why you are looking for therapy; what you want to achieve from the therapy, and agreeing how you and I are going to work together.
We will go through a number of questions to help decide whether we will both be comfortable working together and to check that you can be offered the most appropriate support.
If the answer is yes, then we will discuss confidentiality, times, dates and length of counselling, price of the sessions, how I work & my qualifications, and safeguarding.
You will also be able to ask me any questions that you may have about counselling and the process.
If you are happy to go ahead with the counselling we will then co-create an agreement together.
What I can help with:
Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Anxiety, Bereavement, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Depression, Loss, Self esteem, Spirituality, Trauma
