Support is offered to adults who are looking to discuss current concerns, consider goals they want to achieve and pose any questions relating to the therapeutic process on offer.

All prospective clients are offered a free introductory session on line, during which time they can consider the therapeutic process within the online setting, and decide if it meets their needs. This introductory sessions lasts up to 30 minutes. 

Information will be provided after the initial enquiry is received providing information and considerations before the introductory meeting. 

I am a Counsellor who works within the Person- Centred Approach which bases practice on the belief that each person will become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions for growth. These conditions being that the Counsellor offers honesty, acceptance and non-judgemental responses, whilst being fully integrated into the relationship. The client will be allowed to lead, bringing what they want to discuss/explore and set the pace which they feel  best meets their needs. 

A framework for the first session will be based on what has been highlighted and agreed during the introductory session. 

Signing contract agreement - clarifying/confirming roles, responsibilities and expectations.

Identifying specific goals/objectives

Considerations for online counselling if this is a new experience.
