Online or telephone sessions are for one hour in duration and the cost is £55.

 

I work Monday to Saturday and some evenings.
I offer flexibility for the day and times of each of your sessions. You might be busy, you might not be able to commit to the same day and time each week. I can work with you to find the best day and times for each of your sessions.

You may want just a few sessions or long term therapy, or open ended, It's not always possible for you to know how many you need or want, you don't need to set an amount if you don't want to, we can talk about how therapy is going for you at any time.

​​​​

Payment for each session is by bank transfer or PayPal.

Payment is due at the time of booking to secure your day and time.

What to expect when you first contact me:

You may have contacted me on my website or by email louisehalfordcounselling@outlook.com  Either way I will contact you as soon as possible to answer any questions you might have and provide you with more information.

What to expect in your first session

  • You can share whatever feels comfortable about you and what difficulties you are having, you can ask me any questions. Sessions are always at your pace and the content is whatever you would like to talk about.

  • I may ask you some questions in order to gain an understanding of you and how you are struggling right now. This is to help me understand how your difficulties are affecting you, both physically and emotionally.

Ongoing sessions

In your sessions you can explore your difficulties at your pace, in as much or as little detail that you are comfortable with. You are always in control of the session content and pace.

​

You can start your session with what feels right for you. There is no right or wrong way in therapy

  • Sessions will allow you the space to explore your feelings and thoughts and for you to explore these in more detail.

​

  • There will be times when we review the sessions to see how you feel therapy is going, or to discuss whether or not you have found methods helpful and how you would like future sessions to pan out.

Counselling sessions are a personal investment and you may wish to consider if you can commit to regular sessions. An ad-hoc approach to counselling has benefits but proves to be a slow and less effective method of progress.

​

We are all different therefore I do not prescribe a set amount of sessions. Everyone is different, You will know when it is time to end. It is often the case that counselling varies in the amount of sessions wanted or needed.

Some sessions will feel more helpful than others, but it is important to realise that everything that I am doing is designed to help you in the long run, even if doesn't feel like it in the beginning.

​

Somewhere within you can be the solution to resolving your problem.

It's my skill to help people discover things that hamper their own solutions and help people discover a better way forward.

You will leave counselling independent of me which is the aim of counselling, and this is more powerful than a therapist telling you what to do, and you leave feeling that you are able to find your own solutions.
