Fiona Wetherell Counselling, Folkestone, Kent.
Why do people have counselling?
It is not always easy to talk to family and friends about what is bothering you, which is where counselling can help. There are a variety of reasons for seeking counselling, you may be experiencing difficult events or difficulties with relationships. You may be experiencing intrusive or negative thoughts which you would like help to alleviate. You may have noticed a recurring pattern in your behaviour which you feel no longer works to your advantage, or be experiencing loneliness, bullying, grief, or have experienced rape or sexual abuse.
Most importantly, you do not have to be in a crisis to seek counselling. Counselling will not give you out-of-the-box answers but offers a safe, non-judgmental place within which to explore the reasons behind whatever may be troubling you.
I aim to work at your pace, offering short or long-term counselling. Sessions are normally 50 minutes long and are held on the same day/time every week, although I do offer flexibility. Counsellors work in a variety of ways which is why it is important that we meet face to face initially to discuss your requirements/aims of therapy and for me to explain how I work so that we can both assess compatibility.
