|
|
psychotherapist or counsellor and charge patients for consultations. This leads
|
|
to a wide variation in the level of competence and expertise available.</p><p>Until such time as statutory regulation is introduced, those
|
|
employing counsellors should ensure that their recruitment arrangements are stringent
|
|
and that therapists meet the training and supervision standards identified by the
|
|
relevant professional organisations.</p><p>Those individuals using counselling services should be aware
|
|
of what to expect from a counsellor and should be encouraged to work with counsellors
|
|
who subscribe to professional bodies recognised codes of ethics and practice.</p><p>We have found it helpful to explain what counselling is at the
|
|
beginning so that you may get most benefit from it.</p><p>Counselling is different from other forms of help; the focus
|
|
is to enable you to clarify the issues about which you are troubled. This will involve
|
|
you in exploring those issues in private with someone who is trained to listen and
|
|
has no other role in your life. Through this confidential process, your counsellor
|
|
will be seeking to enable you to clarify your thoughts and feelings. Counselling
|
|
is a positive process, which is often associated with times of personal crisis.
|
|
It may involve talking about painful parts of your life and therefore, you may feel
|
|
worse before you feel better! It is also a very effective way of developing personal
|
|
potential. If we are not the best people to help we will refer you elsewhere or
|
|
suggest alternatives which may be more appropriate.</p><p>Counselling and Psychotherapy can be helpful for a wide range of difficulties such as: </p><ul>

</ul><p>The Counsellors in this service work within the British Association
|
|
for Counselling and Psychotherapy's (BACP) 'Ethical Framework for Good
|
|
Practice', which ensures that what you speak about in your session, remains
|
|
confidential. The details of the confidentiality contract will be explained to you
|
|
in your first session. All counsellors within the service have supervision, which
|
|
involves presenting their work anonymously, to ensure that quality is maintained.</p><p>Counsellors keep written records of their sessions with clients.
|
|
These are kept according to data protection guidelines and service record keeping
|
|
procedures. Each session lasts for <span class="gen">enter amount</span> minutes. To get the most from the session
|
|
please ensure you arrive on time, as your counsellor will need to finish promptly.
|
|
</p><p>If you are unable to keep the appointment please let us know,
|
|
giving at least <span class="gen">enter amount</span> hours notice.</p><p>We hope you find counselling a positive and helpful experience.</p><p>Please contact us for more details using the details above.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3>
