 Counselling and PsychotherapyI will offer you an initial assessment session at which we will discuss briefly what concerns you and how we can work together to deal with the issues. We will also agree some initial goals to guide the work. I can offer both short-term solution-focused counselling (where appropriate) and longer-term work where the issues are broader or more complex. We will then normally meet weekly at a regular time for one-to-one sessions which will each last for approximately 50 minutes. The number of sessions needed will vary but a minimum of 6 is usual, after which we would review progress and agree what further work may be required. My counselling is carried out within an integrative approach which matches the nature of the work we do to you and the specific issues you bring. I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a graduate member of the British Psychological Society. I abide by their respective codes of professional ethics and continuous professional development: more information on this and counselling generally is available on their websites at: www.psychotherapy.org.uk; www.itsgoodtotalk.org.uk/;/www.bps.org.uk/ Meetings will normally be held at my practice address. However, in the current climate where face to face meetings are difficult, I normally work remotely using Zoom,Whats App video call or telephone. CoachingI will offer you a similar assessment session during which we will clarify the specific areas of your life or work that you want to improve and agree an approach to help you succeed. We will agree realistic targets and timescales for stages of the work, all aimed at enabling you to reach your overall goals. The nature and timing of the work will depend very much on your specific needs. We may choose to meet regularly but may also use the telephone or e-mail to supplement face-to-face discussions as required. Meetings can be held at my practice address, your own home, your business premises or other mutually agreed locations as appropriate. So choose to Move Beyond Now and get where you want to be |
