What happens next? After your FREE consultation, we will set a time for your assessment appointment, via zoom link. What does the assessment involve? Initial assessment This is where we can get more of a holistic overview of your requirements. We will speak about different aspects of your life, and how your issues are effecting you in those areas, physically mentally and spiritually. During this session we will discuss the counselling contract, and organising the best time for your sessions going forward. The Initial Assessment will be for 50/60 minutes. Counselling Sessions The sessions are client led, I work creatively and I will offer creative interventions and resources to facilitate the work. I sometimes give "homework" for you to practice outside the sessions. We will have a review of your sessions at the 6 week mark to see how you feel about the work we are doing; or if you will need to be referred to another service.
