Frequently asked questions

First counselling session

In your initial counselling session, we will engage in a discussion about your reasons for seeking support while establishing rapport. I seek to create a welcoming and professional environment that allows you to share your thoughts and feelings openly.  By the end of the session, my aim is that you will have a clearer understanding of what to expect in future sessions and the effective steps to take as you move forward.

What are the choices available to me?

In my practice, I offer a variety of counselling services to meet your needs. You can choose from online counselling for convenience, in-room sessions for a personal touch, nature-based therapy to connect with the outdoors, or telephone counselling for flexibility. Each option is designed to provide support and guidance in a comfortable setting.

What is nature based counselling?

Nature-based counselling offers numerous benefits, including improved mental well-being and reduced stress levels. Engaging with the natural environment can enhance emotional healing and foster a deeper connection to oneself. This approach often promotes mindfulness and encourages a sense of peace, making it easier for individuals to process their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, the serene atmosphere of nature can inspire creativity and facilitate personal growth.
