Coming for individual therapy allows you to have a space just for you. A space where you can explore and be curious about you. I will endeavour to make sure that I am the right counsellor for you and to sit by your side in your counselling journey.
FIRST MEETING
So what happens is that we first meet for an assessment for about fifty minutes to an hour. This is really where I am making sure that the counselling I can offer is right and appropriate for you. If I feel that this is not the case we would discuss this and I would suggest other therapies or counselling that might be more useful and appropriate for you.
ONGOING INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING SESSIONS
At the start it is preferable to have weekly sessions, although I am very aware of the impact on finances too. Later, we can then discuss having fortnightly sessions as this sometimes also allows more time to reflect what has been talked about and complete any exercises that we may have discussed and agreed upon.
COUNSELLING IS A JOURNEY
Coming to counselling is a journey and can be very emotionally draining at times. I am very aware of saying this but I feel it is important for you to know this and we can, of course, discuss this further and more in-depth at the Initial Assessment and ongoing sessions. Counselling allows you a space, place and time to reflect on your life journey so far, working in the here and now but hopefully moving towards the future having had the benefit of counselling to empower you and enhance your onward life journey.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you in a safe, kind and empathetic therapeutic space. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, queries or concerns, I will be happy to discuss further, contact me at h.lamming@yahoo.co.uk or on my mobile 07491234316.
