What do I need to do?

The first step would be to arrange an assessment session. This would be a time for us to meet and to decide if you would like to continue with me. It would be to discover the issues you would like to work on and the goals you would like to achieve, and to agree the time process you would like to devote to this. This session also offers me the time to understand the areas on which you would like to focus, your expectations, hopes and fears of the counselling process and a time for agreement of a working contract between us.

Sessions would then be undertaken on a one to one weekly basis. This would be arranged at a mutually suitable time with each session lasting fifty minutes. This can be a short-term arrangement, such as for six weeks, or you may prefer to have an open ended contract where the closure is decided upon within the counselling process.
