Before you think about counselling please consider what it is you wish to change or how you would like to transform your life.  Then make a commitment to yourself to see that change through.  

Once you have done that send an email and I will contact you to arrange the best time for your initial consultation.

With the initial consultation we can get to know each other and I will ask you questions about your general health,  lifestyle, relationships and working life.   

After this we will spend a moment or two going over the issue which brought you to counselling, after which we can discuss any expectations you may have regarding length and cost of treatment.

Counselling is a collaborative process and together we can discuss and plan your sessions in accordance with your therapeutic goals.

It is often asked how long the counselling process takes, and you should be aware that counselling is rarely a one-session process.  Counselling is effective when critical reflection takes place and it may take anywhere from a few sessions to months of treatment, depending on your life experiences.   A  general  rule-of-  thumb  though,  is  to  allow  for  about  5-10  sessions  before  therapeutic  changes begin to unlock your unique  self–healing resources which organically create positive change in your life.   

While  not  always the  case,  counselling can be challenging as it can involve the identification and processing of painful emotions and memories. There will be times when you will feel uncomfortable, challenged or messy but you should know that that is all part of your healing process.

The opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of your therapy is present throughout your treatment and adjustments to the delivery of services, can be made as needed.
