How many sessions will I need?
It's difficult to say at the start. It can vary from 3 or 4 sessions to months or longer.
-
How will I know when I no longer need counselling?
This will be down to how you feel about your progress, and whether you have achieved your aim. I will let you know if I think the work is done.

What happens if I want to stop the counselling at any time?
Thats fine. Its always a good idea to talk about why, but its your choice.

What happens if you feel you can't help me?
I will try to refer you onto someone that can.

What happens if I decide not to continue after the first session?
That's fine too. There's no obligation to continue.

I am very nervous about coming for counselling, and unsure about what I should tell you.
Being nervous is very normal. It is your decision what to tell me. There will be no pressure from me.
