Claire Ralls

I work Tuesday, Wednesday,  Friday and Saturdays, availability from 9am to 7pm.

Counselling is the opportunity for you to openly talk about your worries, thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment allowing you to gain your own understanding of your process.

My therapeutic approach is Person-Centred, which is non-directive and led by the client, exploring own thoughts, emotions and behaviours with no judgement ending with you gaining more effective coping strategies and a deeper understanding of yourself. My approach will not be to advise, but to encourage you to talk and explore at depth.

I truly believe you are an expert in your own life and possibly need guidance to explore this and this I can offer.

Our first session together will be an assessment session, where we complete a Therapy Assessment Form and decide if we feel we can work together. Should this be agreed then an initial contract of 6 sessions would usually be offered, followed by a review of our work together, after which the option of an open-time contract will be offered. This means wherever possible we will both commit to on-going therapy until you feel the work is complete.
