What to expect from your first counselling session.

During your first counselling session, your counsellor will:

• Assess the nature of the challenges and issues you are presenting
• Find out what you want to achieve
• Encourage you to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have before committing to a counselling process
• Allow you to get a feel for what counselling involves and how you will benefit
• Discuss the practicalities of counselling by looking at times, number and the length of each individual session required.

I aim to ensure that every client feels safe in the knowledge that they have found a professional organisation that understands the challenges and concerns they face when they decide to seek assistance.

I am a firm believer that counselling isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ process. The relationship between counsellor and client must be based on trust, empathy and respect. A counsellor is trained to listen not to judge or blame, which brings a great sense of relief to clients who are seeking answers and resolution. Counselling helps to establish a better way of relating to yourself and others. That’s exactly what I aim to do at Clear Mind Counselling Therapy.
