What happens in my first session?

We will meet for an assessment session where I will listen to why you have come to counselling. This will last 50 minutes. So that I can genuinely understand what you are telling me I will probably ask questions that will help me get to know you better.

What happens after that?

At the end of the assessment session I will let you know how we could proceed. This is a partnership between you and me so I will take your views into account.

Future Sessions

If we decide to work together we will arrange an initial amount of sessions. These will generally be on the same time and day each week. If however you work shifts we will discuss further how this can work for your individual circumstances.

We will have a written agreement for our work so that we are clear about administrative arrangements as well as our therapeutic relationship.

Ending of Counselling

Depending on how long we have worked together we decide when our work is coming to an end by mutual agreement. If you wish to end counselling suddenly I encourage you to speak to me first, even if this maybe difficult.
