Coming for counselling can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first time. My aim is to make the process as straightforward and comfortable as possible. Every session is a safe space to talk openly — without judgement, pressure, or expectation — and to begin understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface. When you first make contact, we’ll arrange an initial appointment — usually online or by phone — to explore what brings you to counselling and what you hope to gain from it. This first meeting allows us both to get a sense of whether we can work well together. There’s no obligation to continue; you are free to take time to decide. If we agree to continue, we’ll discuss practical details such as session times, online or in-person format, and frequency of meetings. Each session lasts one hour. I’ll listen carefully and help you reflect on the situations, thoughts, and feelings that are shaping your experience. Sometimes this may involve looking at past events; sometimes it focuses on current challenges or decisions. The pace and direction of the work are led by you. Some people prefer structured exploration; others need space to talk things through freely. My role is to support, guide, and where appropriate, gently challenge — always with respect for your faith, values, and boundaries. Grace and Faith Counselling is founded on Christian principles, but faith is never imposed. You don’t need to be a Christian to come for counselling here. For those who do share faith, prayer and Scripture can be integrated naturally when appropriate. Whatever your beliefs, you will be met with honesty, compassion, and professional care. Everything shared in counselling is treated with strict confidentiality. The only exceptions are when there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or where required by law. These boundaries are in place to protect everyone involved and ensure that the counselling relationship remains safe and trustworthy. Some clients come for a few sessions to address a specific issue. Others prefer to work over a longer period to explore deeper patterns or ongoing challenges. You are always free to decide how long you wish to continue and when to finish.
