Counselling Sessions
Counselling for adults
I offer 50-minute, one-to-one counselling sessions for adults in a calm, confidential space where you can bring whatever feels important to you.
Sessions are usually weekly, as this helps to build a safe and consistent therapeutic relationship, with the option of fortnightly if that feels more manageable or supportive for you.
Ways of working together might include:
- images or cards
- objects or metaphor
- talking
- journalling or reflective writing
- simple creative exercises
- noticing what is felt in the body
There is never any expectation to be artistic or creative. These are simply different ways of listening to yourself.
How we may work together
We begin with talking, allowing time for trust and safety to grow, and for you to feel comfortable in the space. If it feels right, creative ways of working can be offered. If you prefer to work through talking alone, that is always welcome and can remain the focus of our work together.
Working creatively is simply another way of exploring your inner world when – and if – it feels right for you.
Sometimes our experiences are hard to put into words. Gentle creative approaches can help us to express and understand what we are feeling in a different way.
You do not need to arrive with the right words or all the answers. We move at your pace, and you always have a choice in how we work together.
