Counselling:
» Is everything we talk about confidential?
Sessions are 100% confidential with a few notable exceptions. I am obligated to break confidentiality if:
• I believe you are likely to hurt yourself or someone else physically
• I become aware of a child who is experiencing abuse or neglect
• You are involved in a criminal investigation or court proceeding and my records are subject to a subpoena
» How many sessions does it take?
There is no set recommended number of sessions. It depends largely on the issues you bring to counselling, frequency of sessions and external factors. Many clients find that even one session can be very helpful. Sustained change and progress generally happens over a period of a few months.
» How often should I attend?
This is dependent on your goals, situation and preferences. Many clients start off with sessions 1-2 weeks apart, then move to less frequent sessions as they make progress.
» What happens in a counselling session?
We talk about the issues an experiences that you would like to talk about, for the purposes of healing. You are in control of the subjects, the pace and the content of the conversation. I will provide support, non-judgemental listening, and careful questions.
» Do you offer couples counselling?
Not at this time.
