Caroline 4 Counselling

What to expect in a therapy session

We'll start by having an informal chat, you'll be asked what you want and what is the reason you want it - so an understanding can be gained of where your motivation to change comes from. You may also be asked about the situation, people, environment and feelings that may be involved in the change that you want to make.

All sessions are carried out with complete confidentiality, remember, this is your time. Trust, honesty and openness from the start make therapy more effective.

You can make yourself comfortable and allow yourself to be guided into a relaxed daydream like state.

There are many techniques that may be used, the ones chosen will be tailored to your individual needs from the information you have given earlier.

These may involve recalling memories, describing your thoughts and feelings, imagining the future, the way you want it to be. This is a pleasant relaxing experience.

"Smoking is something I watch other people doing with such relief and pride that I have overcome this habit, your gentle and determined encouragement has certainly helped me where other techniques have failed. Thank you so much for giving me back my health!" Mrs JD Cheltenham

Sometimes it may be beneficial to practice relaxation at home, or to keep a log or diary between sessions. You will be advised if this will assist with your specific goal/s.

Sessions generally take place weekly, however this depends on the individual. Simple problems such as habits or phobias may only require a few sessions, whereas more complex problems/goals may take several or more meetings. Whatever your goal is, the aim is to obtain results in the least number of sessions and in at a pace and level that is comfortable for you.

"...Many thanks for helping me overcome my fear of heights. My life is so much more uninhibited - I have just returned from taking my young children up the Eiffel Tower, something I would never have dreamt possible before seeing you." SM Gloucestershire
