Essex Counselling

You arrange with me to come to a 50 minute meeting. During this initial session we explore whether this type of counselling therapy will work for you. You will tell me about yourself and your problems. If you are comfortable with our relationship we will agree a set number of therapy sessions on a weekly basis. The number can be reviewed at any time. If there is a problem in making an appointment please let me know 48 hours before the day.

Confidentiality is very important

Person Centred Counselling only works through a relationship of trust and confidence between counsellor and client. Therefore, all information about you, our converstions, your identity are held in the strictest confidence. My practice follows the guidlines of the BACP (British Association For Counselling & Psychotherapy) Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy. Any information will be held securely on file. You have right of access to any information about you held at Essex Couselling Practice. A copy of the BACP Ethical framework can be viewed online at http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework/
