Welcome to Clementine Counselling.
My belief
At Clementine Counselling I believe everyone needs to feel valued, respected and supported. Through therapy it can facilitate exploration into present and past experiences, enabling greater clarity of what has shaped us and how to create positive change.
Why counselling?
As unique individuals we experience different situations, events or upbringings which shape and influence how we think, feel and behave. Talking to a Counsellor can help understand why sometimes you may act in ways which do not serve you well. Through counselling it can help gain awareness of unconscious behaviour to help regain more control and work to overcome issues.
About Therapy
Counselling can help people identify and overcome the causes of their negative patterns, to create lasting change in the way they experience their lives and relationships. Counselling can be a very effective way of dealing with a variety of problems, some common areas for clients to seek counselling include:
Obsessive and addictive behaviours - Anger - Anxiety - Relationship difficulties - Low worth and self esteem - Attachment issues - Managing Depression - Bereavement and Loss - Panic attacks - Coming to terms with difficult past experiences - Suicidal thoughts, Living with illness or disability - Life events
Sessions
It is important that you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, therefore I offer an initial 30 minute telephone consultation which gives us an opportunity to outline what brings you to counselling, and to decide whether you would like to work with me. I am able to offer face-to-face session as well as online and telephone counselling.
Sessions cost £50 (concessions for students)
-
The number of sessions required varies from person to person depending on the nature and severity of the issue, therefore I am able to offer both short and long-term counselling.
-
Counselling work is confidential however there are limits to the boundaries of confidentiality, such as harm to oneself or others.
-
Sessions usually take place weekly, I ask for a minimum of 24 hours notice if you need to cancel a session otherwise full payment will be due.
-
You might want to consider using the first few sessions to get a feel for what counselling and therapy involves and how it may help you.
-
Take time to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have before making a commitment. Take time to discuss the practicalities of the therapy/counselling by looking at times, cancellations, fees, confidentiality and rules that both therapist and client must abide by.
-
You will have time to talk about presenting issues/difficulties, explore your goals in relation to your therapy and discuss areas to be worked on in future sessions.
