FAQ's
Common issues addressed
How many sessions will I need?
Its difficult to say at the start. It can vary from 3 or 4 sessions to months or longer.
How will I know when I no longer need counselling.
This will be down to how you feel about your progress, and whether you have achieved your aim. I will let you know if I think the work is done.
What happens if I want to stop the counselling at any time
Thats fine. Its always a good idea to talk about why, but its your choice.
What happens if you feel you can't help me.
I will try to refer you onto someone that can.
What happens if I decide not to continue after the first session.
Thats fine too. There's no obligation to continue.
I am very nervous about coming for counselling, and unsure about what I should tell you.
Being nervous is very normal. It is your decision what to tell me. There will be no pressure from me.
