ServicesWhat you can expect in counselling process?
CONSULTATIONS Consultations are about our clients and the environment in which they feel most comfortable. Private practice reduces waiting times, allows more flexibility in relation to appointments (including evenings and weekends), and most importantly, offers the opportunity for clients to choose between brief, focussed therapy or longer term exploratory work. The environmental settings of any consultation are determined by the client and are open to change from session to session depending on the clients needs. We offer short and long term counselling to individuals or couples and supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors within therapy with us, your individual hopes, aspirations and needs will be considered with much care and the therapy tailored with each aspect in mind. There will be space and the opportunity to think, in a safe and non-judgemental way, about the things that distress you or that you may be grappling with. All aspects are worthy and of value and each of the issues can be talked about in a confidential and safe environment, with someone who is professionally trained. We have many years' experience working in the field of therapy many Organizations such as the NHS, Charity Organizations, and large insurance companies also while working privately. CONFIDENTIALITY Therapy is confidential. Sometimes you may wish to let someone else know that you are having therapy, but that is up to you. REFERRALS Clients come through self-referral or through referrals by a variety of organisations such as employers, GP's, private clinics, schools, etc. TYPES OF CONSULTATIONS Face-to-face consultations predominantly take place at the main office at Regus Wales 1 Junction 23a (M4) Newport Gwent NP26 3DG . Private practice can also take place in Caldicot and Chepstow, in the area of Gwent, Lydney Gloucestershire. However, home consultations can be arranged for clients as can consultations for children and young people at schools where appropriate. DURATION OF CONSULTATIONS Consultations last approximately 50 minutes. A few brief essential ground rules. 1. Payment Either in cash or a cheque is acceptable, An invoice may be given if required for insurance claims. 2. Cancellations / Re-booking All cancellations require 24 hours notice by telephone. Failure to do so will cost you the full fee. Please respect this so as not to cause embarrassment to yourself. 3. Time boundaries Please try to respect the time neither arriving too early or too late. As we can not promise to make up the time if you do arrive late, even if given a legitimate reason as I am unable to take the time from another client who may follow you. This would not be fair to them. 4. Contact telephone numbers We will need to have a contact phone number for emergencies, so please come expecting to provide this information to me. 5. Endings please give respect to the idea of discussing 'endings' with your Therapist. Students & Therapists Supervision We offer supervision to therapists in all healing professions helping to bring a clearer perspective, a wider dimension and greater depth to their work. Our aim is to help develop therapists' confidence and both their personal and professional skills in client work whilst at the same time safeguarding good practice. We believe that supervision to be an essential part of the therapeutic process; it helps the therapist to see the wood for the trees and identify ways in which they may be colluding in their client's material whilst also allowing the therapist to feel held and supported. This in turn provides a greater degree of clarity, holding and safety for the client further enabling their healing and unfoldment. |
