Counselling – What can I expect?
Counselling is a way of relating to and responding to another person, so that the person is helped to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviour, to reach a clear understanding of these. The client is then helped to find and use their own strengths so that they cope more effectively with life and their emotions by making appropriate decisions or by taking relevant action.
What is counselling?
Counselling offers you a chance to explore difficulties you are having in your life. You can explore these with a counsellor who will neither advise nor judge you. The counsellor’s role is to help you explore and unlock your feelings.
Some of my feelings are very painful. Will talking about them make it more so?
It may well be painful and upsetting. This cannot be avoided but will help you to understand more about yourself. From this you may well begin to feel less confused and able to make necessary changes in your life or come to terms with things that cannot be changed.
Who is counselling for?
Counselling is for anyone that wants to explore issues concerning the past, present or indeed future. It could be that you feel you lack direction and that life makes no sense. It may be that you can no longer be sure just what it is you are feeling.
What will happen in our first meeting?
The first session is a chance to talk over your expectations and hopes. The counsellor will explain the way in which they work and what will happen. The first session is also a chance to see if you both feel you are able to work together.
What is a contract?
The contract is between you and the counsellor and generally specifies the cost, commitment and confidentiality.
What is expected of me?
It is your responsibility to attend at the agreed time but if you are unable to attend an appointment you must let the counsellor know. If less than 24 hours notice is given before the agreed appointment the full fee will be charged.
How do I end the counselling contract?
Normally you will know when you are ready to end and you and your counsellor will work out a way to suit you.
About Us
Teresa
I am an experienced Accredited Counsellor. Since qualifying I have undertaken further training obtaining a Post Qualifying Diploma in working with children and young people and also Clinical Supervision of professionals. I have experience of working with adults and young people and have worked with domestic abuse, bereavement and a loss and many other issues.
I like to spend time with my family, especially my grandchildren and enjoy beach walks whatever the weather!
Claire
I am an experienced and Accredited Counsellor and also a qualified Consultative Supervisor. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and hold an additional Post Qualifying Diploma in working with children and young people. I have always worked with young people in various roles and recognise the importance and value of my additional qualification.
Life can be hectic and as a parent I know what it is like to juggle work and family life. Maintaining balance is key and we all need support sometimes to achieve this. Family time is important to me as is dog walking in my spare time and my new venture of learning Spanish.
