Karen's FAQs

Counselling & PMR




question mark

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?

This is a difficult question to answer as everyone is different. This will depend on many different factors. I normally suggest 6 sessions in the beginning, but I am flexible and will work with each individual client. If you feel ready to finish our sessions before the six weeks is up, then I am happy to finish, but if you feel you need longer than six sessions, we will discuss this and continue with our work together.



question mark

HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M READY FOR MY SESSIONS TO END? 

This also depends on the individual, but during our sessions we will reflect on the progress you are making and how the counselling has helped you. Once you are ready we will talk through our ending and how you will carry forward the progress you have made.



question mark

WILL YOU ADVISE ME ON THE CHANGES I NEED TO MAKE?

No one knows you better than yourself. I will not be advising you on what you need to do, but I will help and support you to make sense of the issues that have been affecting you. We will work together to find new ways of coping and moving forward.



question mark

HOW OFTEN ARE THE SESSIONS?

In the beginning, it is beneficial to hold weekly sessions, but over the weeks we could start to extend them if you prefer.


question mark

HOW OFTEN DO YOU OFFER PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION (PMR) SESSIONS?

I am happy to work with you and arrange sessions whenever suits you.
