Frequently asked questions
- Do I need counselling? Ultimately only you can decide - you know you best.
- How long will I need to come for? It is different for everyone, there are lots of external factors to therapy, like what is going on in your life which will impact on your process. Anywhere from 1 - 30 sessions is common.
- Shouldn't I just talk to my friends & family? Yes do. A professional who is trained and experinced can offer you a different kind of support, helping you feel and think differently about yourself and others.
- Will it work? research has shown some therapy is better than no therapy at all.
- Which counsellor should I choose? Maybe choose one which you feel comfortable with and able to open up to. Maybe ask yourself "am I being challenged enough by my counsellor"...
- What type of counselling should I have? Mine! No, really research has shown that the model of counselling has a small part to play in the outcome of therapy. Again what feels best with you is probably best.
