What to expect from Therapy
"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are." - Rachel Naomi Remen
The first step towards healing would be to contact me, either by telephone or email.
Once you have made contact with me I will phone or email you back at a time that is convenient to you, to discuss what you are looking for and how I can help you. This initial contact will take no more than 15 minutes.
If, after our 30 minute call, you wish to proceed with my services further I will book you into my consulting room. This will be for 50 minutes and will allow you to see how I work and how we can work together within a Client-Counsellor setting and create a therapeutic relationship that will help you heal.
I offer both limited and unlimited sessions depending on how you feel, as healing may take longer than we think. I also offer home visits if this is more convenient for you as well offering outdoor therapy in the form of 'Walk and Talk' Therapy.
In our first 50 minute session I will need to complete paperwork in line with BACP guidelines and to ensure that we both have the information we need and that it all complies with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Confidentially
"It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood." - David Hume
Confidentiality is a key aspect of Vivre Counselling.
From the first contact to the last session confidentiality is upheld.
