What is Counselling?
Counselling is a confidential safe space where you can come and talk to a trained professional about issues you’re facing in your life - grief, relationships, work, anxiety etc - and we work together to try and help you understand those issues and find ways to help you cope or better the situation.
-
What happens in the first session?
In our first session, I will begin by explaining my approach to counselling, we will go over the contract (which I will have sent to you beforehand) to make sure you understand and answer any questions you may have.
Then we will spend the rest of the first session getting to know you, easing any nerves or anxiety you might have about counselling, and understand what brought you to counselling.
-
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is different! As general practice I contract for 12 sessions, but if we get to session 4 (for example) and you feel like you’re ready to finish, then we will schedule our final session and finish our sessions then. If you feel like you need more than 12 sessions, then we’ll contract for more than 12!
-
How long is a session?
Each session is 50 minutes, but time flies in counselling so I’ll make sure to let you know when we’re nearing the end of each session.
-
Are sessions in-person or remote?
All of our sessions are remote via Google Meet. This way you get to do your sessions from the comfort of your own home! I only ask that you find a space that feels safe for you, and where you won’t be interrupted!
-
How much does it cost?
The initial consultation is completely free! Both talk and Grief therapy sessions cost £50/$100AUD each. This should be paid at least 24 hours before the session.
-
What's the cancellation policy?
You are able to cancel or rearrange with 24 hours notice by emailing me at gmckcounselling@gmail.com. I recommend that we keep a scheduled time and day each week for our sessions, but I know life happens! If you do not let me know with 24 hours notice, you will be charged for the session.
