WHAT HAPPENS AT COUNSELLING?

If you've never been to therapy with a counsellor before you may be wondering what is involved.

Counselling is a confidential process in a supportive and healing environment, where you discuss difficulties and learn how to transform them, heal past and current pain and set positive goals for your future.

Seeing a counsellor is a positive step to take for your wellbeing. It means you are taking control of a situation which might be difficult to cope with or simply that you would like an alternative view about your current situation.

I trained for more than 20 years in many different natural healing modalities and have been working as a therapist since 1998. I may use skills such as Hypnotherapy to quickly help clear underlying deeper issues, Emotional Release Therapy for releasing emotional pain, as well as teaching you skills for Stress reduction and Meditation.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO DISCUSS AT THE FIRST SESSION?

During the first session you will outline why you are seeking help, what is happening in your life and what you would like to change or achieve.

I will tell you how she works and what methods she uses, so you can be able to decide whether you feel comfortable to continue.

After your initial session, she will meet with you on a regular basis where you will be given undivided attention.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL YOU NEED?

The amount of sessions required depends entirely on the individual. This process can be short-term or long-term depending on the nature of what you want to work on or achieve. Sessions are made on a weekly basis at the start and may progress to a fortnightly basis as work progresses.
