How will I be counselled?
Counselling sessions are normally an hour long and held at weekly intervals. But if a client is in crisis the sessions may be more frequent. All sessions are confidential and they will continue until the client feels confident handling issues by themselves without external support and the counsellor has achieved total satisfaction over clients’ behavioural and emotional pattern.

Will I ever be advised by counsellors to separate or divorce?

How successful can counselling be?
Success needs defining. Counselling is a collaborative process undertaken by both client and counsellor. Several unhurried, objective but sympathetic sessions can help a client clarify issues and give some insight.
At the other end of the spectrum, long term counselling can gradually but radically help a person to cope. Clients can be helped to improve their ability to deal with life, work, personal or interpersonal issues for the future.
