| How
we can help...
Finding
the right approach
We are happy to arrange an assessment session that will give you
guidance on how to move forward with us or other agencies or therapists.
The assessment will take 50 minutes. Some of this time
will be spent filling out the assessment paperwork, the remainder of the
time will involve a discussion about what is troubling you. You
will never be pushed into discussing anything you are not happy to
talk about.
Short-term
counselling
During your assessment we can discuss whether short-term counselling is
appropriate for your needs. Short-term counselling is particularly
effective at dealing with issues such as bereavement, divorce, mild
depression, job loss, marital or sexual problems. If we decide
short-term counselling is the way forward for you, it would not preclude
you from going on to long-term counselling if you wished to do so.
Long-term counselling
This is more suited to people with drug or alcohol problems. It could
also be for issues that have been unresolved for several years, like
severe depression, rape/sexual abuse, emotional abuse, PTSD (trauma),
severe mental health problems, or people with complex or multiple
issues. |
