Do I have to tell you everything?
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.
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.
Do you give advice?
No, I don’t give advice. I will listen to your concerns and give you another perspective but I will not give you solutions. I hope that through counselling you will be able to see things clearer and reach your own decisions. It is my role to support you throughout this journey.
How long do I have to come for?
It is up to you how long you come for. I will offer you 6 sessions to start with and we will review this every 5 or 6 sessions. Some people find 6 sessions is enough but others come for much longer. It really depends on how deep we explore each issue and how many issues there are. |
