What to expect

—

You can expect to be listened to and have the space and time to express your thoughts and feelings.  In counselling it is important to find someone you can trust and I understand how hard it is to take that first step to reach out to someone for help.  

I am a Gestalt Counsellor, which means I am interested to explore what the world and events mean to you and how they impact you.  I understand that you are the expert in yourself and my role is to work with you to challenge and explore your feelings and beliefs and to enable growth and change.  My aim is to raise awareness of your patterns of behaviour with the intention to facilitate change.   I will offer you the time and space and follow your pace and respect your boundaries. 

In addition the above, I offer Walk and Talk Therapy which allows the counselling to be taken outside, to explore the local area and environment whilst walking and talking! Or if you are interested in Journalling as a creative and mindful way of processing your thoughts and feelings I'd be happy to explore that with you.

I offer an initial 50-minute assessment session to explore what brings you to counselling and what you hope to get from counselling and you will get an idea of how I work. During this meeting we will also go through the counselling contract, which is a bit like the terms and conditions.

I offer long term and short-term counselling, and review progress every 5/6 weeks.   Counselling is a safe space to explore and develop any thoughts and feelings.

When you decide to end counselling, we can work together to plan your next steps, explore further support or celebrate the journey.
