Individual
Counselling.
It never fails to move me when a client tells me they have no-one to talk to, yet they have lots of family and friends around them.
Sometimes we just need a conversation with someone who is impartial, who isn't a friend and won't tell us what to do or give us advice. Talking to someone who knows how to really listen and understand how we feel can be very empowering. One of my favourite sayings (and I don't know who said it) is 'To be loved is great, but to be understood is profound'. As friends and family members we are often emotionally involved and will say anything to make our friend/family member feel better, so much so, we forget to listen.
When I work with clients they set their own pace and their own agenda, its their story I want to hear. I want to help make sense of the story they are living and if necessary help them re-write their future story
How individual counselling works...
Sessions can take place online or in person and are 50 minutes and are often weekly, however, this is a guide but very much depends on the issue(s) being worked on.
The format of the sessions is led by you, you determine what we will discuss, and I will listen, sometimes I might suggest completing a worksheet if I think it will help to bring some clarity to your thoughts. Or I may suggest a plan or some actions that you can take in between sessions.
Clients often tell me that I am very easy to talk to and feels like they are talking to one of their friends. My aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, so you can fully identify what is causing you issues.
What to expect from Individual Counselling
Online or In Person
We can work together via online sessions on Zoom, or in person at my tranquil space in Tyne and Wear. Alternatively we can do a mixture of both to suit your schedule.
At your chosen frequency
Most people who come to me choose to do so weekly, however I completely appreciate that you may be busy or have other commitments. I can recommend a frequency during our consultation - but truly it depends on how often you'd like.
