FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about therapy
Hopefully this information has answered most of your questions, but here are some of the questions I am asked most often.
How many sessions will I need?
It’s hard to say as each client is individual and their goals and circumstances are unique. There are times when two or three sessions will help a client reach their goal, but I often find between three and six sessions ideal.
What happens during the free consultation?
We will start with a free 30-minute consultation which provides a safe space for you to tell me what has brought you to therapy and ask any questions you may have.
What are your relevant qualifications?
I hold an MA in Education, an FdA in Counselling, a Level 4 Diploma in Hypnotherapy, a Level 5 qualification in Coaching, a PGCE and an FdA in Working with Young People.
Are you committed to continuous professional development?
Yes. I regularly participate in training, undertake further reading and volunteer as a counsellor for two charities.
Are you a member of a professional body?
Yes. I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and subscribe to their codes of ethics.
