FAQ's

WHAT HAPPENS?...

AT THE ASSESSMENT

•    This is a consultation/intake process. We essentially discuss what's bothering you and what you want out of therapy.

•    I will ask a variety of questions comprising of some practical information, and about your presenting issue/needs. This important initial process is to determine how therapy can be most helpful to you. We will discuss the duration of potential sessions, confidentiality, our contract together and fees. 

•    After this initial discussion, and if we both agree that Well Therapy will be beneficial we will plan our first session and frequency of counselling.

•    When preparing for private therapy it can be helpful to consider commitment, expenses, space and time for processing.

•    Should you not wish to progress, you are completely free to do so. Sometimes, other types of counselling are more appropriate; or that Well Therapy is unable to provide what you need at this time. Onward referrals and signposting will be discussed where suitable.

​

AT OUR SESSIONS
•    Sessions will typically be held at the same time and day each week, for an agreed duration (e.g. 'every Tuesday at 11am for 8 weeks').

•    Sessions can bring up a lot of 'stuff', during and between. This is natural and common. At regular intervals we review your progress goals together and any necessary and relevant support pathways between.

•    Therapy is extremely personal. If you are ever concerned or unsure about the process, you are always welcome to raise any queries with me.

AT THE END
•    Whether short, mid or long-term therapy: it is common to feel mixed emotions when ending such a unique experience.

•    We prepare for this when leading up to our final session/s together in a mutually agreed ending.

•    Sometimes endings can be unplanned due to a variety of factors (at times beyond our control). I believe it is still valuable to discuss closure in whatever the circumstances.
