What to expect

---

 
Many of us may not have experienced having counselling before and it may feel a little daunting, or you may not know what to expect. I offer a free initial telephone session of up to 15 minutes where we can talk and you can find out whether therapy is right for you. This will provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the therapy and hopefully help you feel more at ease should you choose to continue. 

I consider all aspects of the therapy experience to be of utmost importance and aim to ensure that your experience of counselling is as comfortable as possible by ensuring a warm welcome and a non-judgemental safe space where you will be comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. 

The first counselling session will usually comprise of an assessment and overview of your reasons for accessing counselling and we can then gain an understanding of how we will work together to provide the best and most effective service for you, the client.

My office is located in the centre of Hadley, Telford, and easily accessible for most. I am able to offer downstairs sessions where navigating stairs is difficult or not possible. There is also free car parking in abundance to the rear of the building.

I understand that there may be barriers that get in the way of attending counselling in person. With this in mind, I am also able to offer counselling online or over the telephone. I am happy to discuss this and any other needs you may have during our initial consultation.
