While there is not a magic wand available to make everything better, discussing your situation and allowing yourself the space and time to really explore and think about issues can make a huge difference to how you feel. Counselling provides the opportunity to look at situations from different angles and consider relationships from a number of perspectives within a safe, friendly, non-judgmental space.
Sessions are 50 minutes in length and are held on a weekly basis. An assessment session will provide you with the opportunity to see whether you feel comfortable about working together. Counselling can be short or long term, dependent upon the issues you are facing. Regular reviews are held during the counselling process to discuss how you feel about the process and how many weeks you should receive counselling for.
New for 2023:
Group Counselling sessions
Brexit, Covid-19 and now the cost-of-living crisis means that we have seen the cost of every 'basic' item we use (energy costs, food, clothing, fuel etc. etc) rise extortionately. Some of the difficulties we have faced recently, have also caused a dramatic increase in those suffering with anxiety or depression related issues. That is before we add in the more 'normal' (in the loosest sense of the word) reasons that clients may be struggling with their circumstances.
At Amadea Counselling we are aware that many would attend counselling if they had the finances to do so. However, with many simply surviving and barely able to meet the bills each month, we are aware that the cost of private counselling is prohibitive to them. With life constantly in the 'fast' lane, it is possible to feel totally alone and unable to cope or look to the future even when you are surrounded by family and friends.
Amadea Counselling would like to offer the opportunity of small group sessions:
-
These are sessions where everybody in the group is struggling with a similar issue.
-
The sessions will be a safe space where there is no judgement & they will be fully confidential - each member of the group will be asked to sign a contract to that effect.
-
They will provide an opportunity for you to gain skills which may assist in giving you a more positive outlook on the future.
-
They will provide a support network of people are struggling in a similar way and remind you that you are not alone in facing your difficulties.
Email us if these sessions are something you would be interested in, you do not have to suffer alone.
