Clent Hills Counselling | ||
Counselling is a talking therapy and I am a trained practitioner able to work with people over a short or long term, helping them bring about effective change or enhance their wellbeing. I have experience of working in different therapeutic settings including; an NHS GP surgery and with adult referrals from a Children’s Centre. I also have over 25 year’s experience of working with young people and am an experienced and qualified lecturer. |

What
can I expect? We will meet at an agreed time
and place. The meeting space will be ‘safe’ and you cannot
be overheard.
The therapy process needs commitment and at times it may seem challenging.
The approach to the counselling will be tailored in response to your needs
and personality. I will be non judgmental and will work in a way and at
a pace that suites you. Whilst counseling is most often about speaking
and listening it is not the only medium that is used, for example sometimes
you may choose to use art, writing, relaxation or breathing exercises.
How long is a therapy session? 50 minutes. How long will I need to have counselling? This will depend on the issues you want to address in therapy. Anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months is usual. What to expect from the first session? During the first session we will begin to get to know each other and to see if you feel comfortable about working with me. I will try to find out what your needs are, make an assessment and explain if and how I might be able to help. What kinds of issues can counselling help with? |
