WILL OUR SESSIONS BE CONFIDENTIAL, WILL YOU TELL ANYONE WHAT I TELL YOU?
Our sessions will be confidential. If I have any concerns I will discuss them with you. There may be times where I need to seek advice from my supervisor but how I work and client confidentiality will be fully explained to you in our first session.
I WANT TO END COUNSELLING, HOW DO I DO THIS?
You can end counselling at any time. However, I would recommend discussing your plans to end counselling with me so we can plan an ending you feel comfortable with.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION CHANGES AND I STRUGGLE TO PAY YOUR FEE?
If you do find yourself in financial hardship I am happy to discuss a reduced fee.
WHAT IF I DON'T FIND YOUR THE RIGHT COUNSELLOR FOR ME?
Finding the right counsellor for you can be difficult. There are many different counsellors and counselling approaches and so if you find that I am not right for you I will be more then happy to recommend one that suits your needs better.
