What to expect from me
I believe counselling is a collaborative process where through regular sessions we can work together to explore and understand your difficulties.
​
My responsibilities to clients are:
-
To be available at the agreed time.
-
To start and end on time.
-
To offer a quiet appropriate and undisturbed space.
-
To maintain safe, professional boundaries.
-
To regard all contact and information as confidential unless I have reasonable doubt concerning actual safety of the the client or others.
-
To encourage client autonomy.
-
To work within the BACP Ethical Framework (available upon request) including regular supervision.
-
To review the therapeutic work and relationship regularly.
-
In the unlikely event of the counsellor cancelling, an alternative appointment will be offered as soon as possible.
​
Confidentiality
Within the counselling sessions you may reveal things which you’ve spoken to few about, if anyone. All your communication with me — whether in person, or by telephone or email — will remain confidential.
