Appointments
Telephone
to book a first session for us to discuss what YOU
want.
We begin
with an assessment. This is carried out to determine the
impact of
emotional and psychological factors that may be affecting
your presenting
issue. You can then decide if counselling
therapy
is something you wish to explore for yourself.
Following
this evaluation, the counsellor and yourself establish
a fixed
number of weekly sessions.
We will help
you identify what you can realistically achieve from
these .
From time to time we will review where you have been
and what
work still needs to be done.. Your counsellor may also
give you
specific exercises (homework) between session.
This would
be done to maximize the healing changes in your life.
