therapy with seeking solace counselling
Is counselling for you?
The answer is that counselling is for everybody and it is my opinion that every person has the potential to benefit from this process. There are many reasons why one may choose to start their counselling journey. In our lives, we are all more than likely to come across challenges and at times struggle with our emotions, leaving us with questions about who we are, what makes us who we are, or why we might react in the ways that we do. Counselling offers people the opportunity to explore these issues and questions in a safe, supportive space, free from judgement. In exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours with a counsellor, you can gain better insight into and a better understanding of yourself and these challenges. This can enable and empower you to draw upon your inner resources and cope better when such challenges arise, and inspire you to make appropriate changes in your life.
If you decide to start counselling with me.....
Initially, I offer a free of charge 30-minute telephone consultation, where we will discuss your goals for therapy, availability for sessions and some terms and conditions. This will not be a counselling session but will give you the chance to decide whether I may be the therapist for you. Following this I offer an introductory 30-minute counselling session payable in advance, with no obligation to continue sessions. This will allow you to see how I work and offer the opportunity to decide whether to move forward with more sessions. I offer both long and short-term counselling but would recommend a minimum of 6 sessions if short-term therapy is your preferred option. Everything you tell me from the first point of contact is confidential, however, there are legal limits to confidentiality which will be outlined within my policies and procedures that I will email to you when we get started. I work with adults of all genders aged 18+
