Practical information
Duration of counselling
The counselling sessions are open-ended, which means there is no maximum limit to the amount of sessions you can have, and regular reviews will take place during the course of our time together. It is worth noting that counselling can be a long process, so you need to be committed to attending regularly to achieve the full benefit from it.
Sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes and occur weekly at the same time and day, although this can be negotiable. Counselling tends to be more effective if attended on a weekly basis, as each session builds on the work of the previous session. Long gaps between sessions can cause a loss of momentum and can make it harder for you to progress.
Location
Counselling will take place either face-to-face in a comfortable and safe space in my home in Dunoon, or online via video (Zoom)*, making counselling accessible to anyone anywhere in the UK.
More detailed information about online video counselling can be found here.
*Please note that all counselling sessions are currently taking place online until further notice. The situation is under regular review as lockdown eases and face-to-face sessions will resume as soon as I feel satisfied that it is safe to do so.
Accessibility
Face to face counselling sessions will take place in a top floor flat – there are 4 flights of stairs to reach it (if this is a problem, let me know and we can discuss alternative arrangements). There is on-street parking, and a bus stop at the end of the street.
Details on video access can be found here.
