FAQ

What is counselling?   

Counselling is when you explore areas of your life which personally concern you. You may know exactly what problems are troubling you or you may feel distressed without knowing why. By talking through your feelings, it is hoped that you will see things in a clearer light. 

Is it all confidential? 

It is confidential and everything you say to me stays with me. However, there are rare occasions when the law requires me to break confidentiality. This is discussed in our first session. I will never go behind your back and will always talk to you before breaking confidentiality. 

It is up to you what you tell me. I will only talk to you about the things that you want to talk about. However, counselling works best if you are honest and open with me and with yourself. 

How much does counselling cost? 

The cost of counselling varies depending on the service you require. However, if you are in financial difficulty I may be able to offer you reduced price sessions. Please contact me if you need any information regarding costs. 

How many sessions will I need? 

It is really hard to answer this question as each person’s needs are different. It depends on the nature of the problem and how deep you want to explore the issues. I would advise having at least 6 sessions but if you want to end before this, just let me know.
