How It Works
Therapy Sessions
Our first meeting will be an assessment session - a time to get to know each other, to talk through what brought you to counselling and your wants from the sessions. There are a couple of admin forms to fill out and I can explain to you about myself and answer any questions.
If you decide to carry on into therapy, we will discuss how many sessions to work towards - I work with both short term and long term clients, it is an individual basis.
We will then meet regularly - usually every week - for your 50 minute session. Regular attendance is important for therapy to be beneficial for you.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I abide by their code of ethics.
