FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS COUNSELLING CONFIDENTIAL?  

What you say in counselling is confidential and stays between us. However, there are a few legal exceptions to this, which I explain in my contract.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

The number of sessions people require varies enormously. Usually, I suggest starting with 6 sessions and then we can review how you are feeling. However, it is up to you how many sessions you have.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A FIRST SESSION?

At your first session, we will discuss what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to achieve in your sessions. If you are happy to, we will fill in an assessment form to get an understanding of how you are feeling and how those feelings are affecting you.

WHO ARE CONCESSIONS AVAILABLE FOR? 

I provide concessions to people on a low income, who are unable to afford the full rate.
