FAQs
How often do I need to come to therapy?
I would strongly recommend weekly sessions, especially during the relationship building stage of the therapy. But all this said, everybody's situation, availability and needs are different. I am flexible and this can be discussed in a 20-30 minuet free assessment session.
What is counselling and how does it work?
Creative therapy, is an opportunity to explore your inner thoughts and feelings in a creative way, using a wide range of media, art and crafts materials, sand, poems, stories, words, puppets and role play.
Creative therapy can be a powerful process, accessing deeper unconscious feelings, experiences and beliefs, that may be hidden from conscious awareness. This method of therapy can be very beneficial and enlightening to adults, as well as young people.
Counselling is a talking therapy, an opportunity to talk freely, hear your self say your thoughts out loud. Untangle thoughts and feelings, explore your problems at a deeper level, and gain self awareness and understanding in the process.
The therapeutic relationship provides a safe container in which you can work through your issues, find your solutions to your problems and move towards a happier, more contented you!
Coping strategies for issues such as anxiety and depression symptoms, can be explored in the form of exercises and activities. with a focus on understanding your own triggers, behaviour, thoughts and feelings, a cycle we can all find ourselves in from time to time.
How will I know if counselling is for me?
I would say " you don't know until you try, you might be surprised!" Why not take advantage of the free assessment session? You have nothing to lose, but perhaps much to gain.
But I would also say " if I'm not the right counsellor for you, it doesn't mean there isn't the right counsellor for you out there. Don't give up, you've come to far!"
