How many Sessions do I need?
Everyone is different so it is difficult to say. Some situations can be helped with short term counselling i.e. up to 6 sessions. Other situations might take longer e.g. if you need to explore past problems from your childhood or you have a number of interrelated difficulties then I may suggest open ended counseling where we make a start and review your progress regularly and decide together when to end your sessions. Whatever you decide you are in control of how much counselling you want.
What does Confidentiality mean?
This is an essential part of the counselling relationship and all that takes place between us is treated with respect and discretion. As a member of the BACP I am required to discuss my work with a suitably qualified supervisor. This process enhances my effectiveness and ensures that you receive ethical and appropriate care.
