What happens in counselling?
If counselling is new to you, feel rest-assured it's place you can come to find peace of mind.
Counselling helps you gain insight and make sense of your story, while having someone you can trust who listens. Someone neutral who helps you understand impulsive thoughts and emotions.
Will I be judged or diagnosed with anything?
No. I will not be diagnosing you with any labels you don’t understand, or speaking psychobabble. Counselling is an opportunity to talk with a counsellor who is neutral and offers you constructive feedback. If you’re not sure of something, I am happy to explain it as often as you’d like.
How long does counselling last?
It’s up to you - as short or long as you like. Usually you feel the benefit of counselling in a short space of time. Then use your gut-instinct to decide if the things you’ve learned are sustainable. But counselling is a process and cannot lead to change overnight.
