Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy
I am an experienced counsellor and have been practising for the past 9 years both in private practice and also for Colchester Youth Enquiry Service and Mind where I see GP referrals. My experience covers a wide range of clients, both adults and young people. I mainly do short term therapy with people, usually 6 to 12 sessions, but I am also happy to undertake long term therapy.
What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy
Your initial assessment session with me is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see whether we feel happy to work together. I am aware that you may be feeling a little anxious and I will do my best to reassure you and help you feel at ease. Having undertaken my own therapy in the past, I feel I have an understanding of how you may be feeling.Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes. I provide a confidential and safe environment for sessions to take place. I will begin the session by explaining how counselling works and taking a few details from you regarding your GP, current medication, etc., and then invite you to tell me something about what has brought you to the counselling room.
At the end of the counselling session I will ask if you feel you would like to continue. There is never any pressure or obligation to have further sessions unless you are happy to do so. If you wish to continue we would normally agree to meet for a further 5 sessions and then review the situation. We would both sign a contract agreeing to meet on a regular basis and to inform each other of any breaks we would need. If either of us is unable to attend a session, we would agree to give each other 48 hours notice where at all possible. If you fail to attend a session without prior notice, this would normally be charged for.
Everything we discuss during our sessions is confidential, unless we talk about risk of serious harm to yourself or others. In this case we would normally discuss disclosing this to someone such as a GP. I attend regular monthly supervision in which I discuss client issues but my supervisor is unaware of my client's identity. Supervision is important in order to keep both myself and my clients safe and supported.
My person centred approach means that you will always be in control of what you bring to the session. Counselling is about exploring feelings and trying to make sense of them, not about giving advice. I have a fundamental belief that every client knows what it right for them and that my role is to facilitate you to access that knowledge and enable you to make changes. I believe that everyone is a unique individual and we are all special and of value and the therapy will be about building your self-confidence and belief in yourself and empowering you to make informed choices.
If you feel that I may be of help to you, please do get in touch.
