FAQ
A: After you contact me we will arrange to meet in my office in Little Sutton for 50 minute assesment session which is£15. The assessment is mainly to see if you are happy with me as your counsellor and for us both to get a focus on your issues and the results you hope to get within counselling and for us both to decide if counselling will be of any use. A further session will then be booked.
Q: How long do we see each other? A:I initially contract for 6-8 weeks, and then you decide if further sessions are needed. It is up to you as the one who knows best for you how long you continue in therapy it is in your control when to stop, I encourage the client to decide for themselves.
Alot will depend on the nature of the problem, the type of change you are looking to achieve, and your own readiness to make the necessary steps.
As a guide, clients find that a certain amount of emotional relief can be obtained by talking through a problem in one or two sessions, a single issue problem that has arisen fairly recently may be resolved in six or twelve sessions, whereas a problem which is complex or has persisted for years may take many months to resolve.
