Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need counselling services?
Acknowledging the need for support is a brave step. If you're dealing with ongoing difficulties - whether it's daily stress, unresolved conflicts, emotional struggles, or a general feeling of confusion about life - seeking counselling can be a compassionate and valuable choice. Counselling is especially beneficial when you find it challenging to cope on your own, face difficulties in relationships, or recognise that certain past or present issues are affecting your overall well-being.
Why consider counselling?
Your well-being is important. Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to navigate life's challenges, offering a compassionate environment for self-discovery and understanding. Through this journey, you can uncover hidden strengths, build resilience, improve communication, and develop effective coping strategies. Counselling not only promotes positive change and fresh perspectives but also empowers you to take control of your life.
How many sessions will I need?
The length and frequency of therapy sessions depend on the reasons you're seeking counselling and your goals for the process. Some may find short-term therapy sufficient, while others may benefit from a longer-term commitment. In our first session, we'll discuss your expectations and determine how often we should meet to best support your needs.
What can I expect in my first counselling session?
Your comfort is my top priority. In your first session, I will focus on creating a safe and supportive space where you can openly share your concerns. We will discuss the reasons for seeking help and we will work together to set goals for your counselling journey. This session is all about building trust and ensuring you feel at ease with the counselling process.
