Free Counselling Session in Taunton and Bridgwater.
The Practice
I offer a free counselling session in Taunton and the Bridgwater practice for your first session. The reason I do this is to allow you to come and experience the environment for yourself. I believe it is most important that you feel as safe as possible. It is equally important that you can come and meet me and feel comfortable and in a peaceful environment.
What To Expect
Once we have introduced ourselves it would be much like any other professional situation. I will ask you what it is that brings you here. You may take as long as you like to explain this. It is ok if you are unsure yourself why you are coming in. You may recognize there is an issue in your life but not necessarily know what that issue is. I will listen with care and compassion and most importantly in confidence without judgment.
What Next?
From listening to your thoughts and feelings I can then begin to understand what underlying issues you are facing. We will talk about your current life as well as your past. This will enable us to have a good foundation on which to base our work together.
The Process
At this stage, I usually have a good sense of what processes and techniques would be useful to you. Implementing these techniques in your everyday life is the beginning of our journey together. Working in this way can relieve you of whatever anger/pain/frustration/stress you have been feeling. You will be treated as the person or couple that you truly are. Everyone is different and there will be no expectation of you. I am simply an Ear for You…..
Does it Work?
Everybody’s response to counseling is different but more often than not they feel it is a positive experience. Due to the confidentiality of counselling, it can be hard to show the success of my work. However, you can read the kind words previous clients which will give you an idea of what is possible.
Costs
After your initial free counselling session in Taunton and our Bridgwater practice, I charge £60.00 per hour. This is the cost for both individuals and couples however Concessionary rates are available in certain cases. Sessions last one hour and usually take place weekly.
