How do I know if counselling is for me?
Sometimes it’s tricky to know at first. I suggest 1-2 sessions together to see if we are the right fit, and if therapy suits you at this time in your life. We can use these sessions to explore what techniques might serve you best, and how you want to use the time. Your autonomy is the most important thing here.
How long does a session go for? How many sessions will I need?
Sessions go for 60 minutes. Some people find six sessions is enough to support them with a specific challenge. Others find they need 10 or more sessions to unpack and explore. Others see it as an ongoing part of maintaining their health & wellbeing.
