How we will work together
I think we can agree we are all special, unique individuals. Therefore, the counselling journey will be different for all of us. At its heart for all of us though is the relationship you have with your counsellor. My job is to provide you with an environment where you feel comfortable. Trusting a stranger with your personal thoughts and experiences is a big deal and something I never take for granted.
The first step is to get in touch via email, text, Whatsapp or phone. We will arrange to have an introductory phone call where I will explain how we will work together in greater detail and also answer any questions you may have. This is a really good opportunity for you to check in whether I would be the right person for you. If you feel comfortable we will then arrange our first session. There is no obligation to book a specific amount of sessions and if at any time you change your mind I totally understand. Sessions will be weekly or fortnightly.
During the sessions it really is as simple as you talking and me listening. I will probably ask you some questions, especially if you are finding it hard to talk about what’s happening for you. I may also use creative techniques to help you explore your own emotions and feelings in greater depth. You will see below I offer counselling in a variety of different formats – this means you can choose exactly which method suits you best.
Face to face counselling
I offer face to face counselling from my client room which is based in Lutton – a village close to Oundle, Peterborough, Corby, Thrapston and Kettering. The room is a confidential space and is easily accessible. There is also on street parking immediately outside.
Online counselling
I am fully trained to provide counselling on line using Zoom. On line counselling can give you a little more flexibility and you may feel more comfortable working from your own space. I will be in my client room so we won’t be disturbed.
Telephone counselling
You may prefer having your sessions on the telephone. This method is just as effective as working in person or on line and again I am fully trained and experienced in working this way.
