Counselling and Therapy Sessions
I offer:
- Individual sessions
- In-person and online
- Sessions spanning a therapeutic hour of 50 minutes
- An initial assessment to discuss what has brought you to therapy, your goals and consider whether we are happy to work together
- Open-ended therapy or therapy with a planned ending
- Sessions on a weekly basis - on the same day and at the same time
- A contract which will guide the framework of our work together
- Regular reviews to discuss the work so far and to re-assess the work to be done
- Where possible adequate sessions will be allocated for a safe ending of the counselling
Online work
Several methods may be used such as text messages, emails, audio and video communication.
To protect the security of the sessions it is important to have a safe therapeutic space without intrusions and being overheard.
Firewall and virus protection needs to be in place.
Electronic intrusion by providers to some degree is unavoidable and needs to be reviewed and updated regularly.
Alternative methods will be arranged if the primary method of communication has technical problems.
The suitability of online counselling therapy will be taken into consideration.
As work is 'at a distance' emergency contact details need to be in place.
I abide by the principles and values of the BACP Ethical Framework and Good Practice guidelines.
My work is covered by Professional Liability Insurance.
The work is being undertaken in accordance with the laws of UK and any disputes which may arise will be subject to these UK laws.
Counselling Tools
Creative worksheets and tools such as drawing, collage work, etc. may be used to access material that may not be in your direct consciousness.
The use of these counselling worksheets and tools will aid free expression and the release of negative energy.
Children find this useful when they do not know how to put their thoughts and feelings into words and so communicate more comfortably through these symbolic means.
