The chairs are spaced apart and our window is usually open for ventilation.
Counselling sessions are typically weekly, for 50 minutes at each session.
The first session is a little different from subsequent ones as there are some matters to be covered including confidentiality.
There is no need to commit to any particular number of sessions – I am able to work short or long term.
Person-centred counselling is ‘non-directive’ – this means that clients ‘lead’ the conversation, talking about what it is they wish to focus on.
I provide drawing materials if clients wish to use them to express themselves although I find clients generally prefer to talk.
Feedback can be useful – both what has been helpful and what may not be.
If you have any questions about counselling or the way that I work please do feel free to contact me.
Prior to arranging a session I usually suggest that we arrange a short (10 minutes) telephone conversation (free of charge) to enable us both to make some assessment of whether we wish to arrange a first meeting.
