What will we talk about?
This is your time to use as freely and openly as you wish in Talking Therapy. For EMDR, the focus may include specific memories or experiences we agree to work on together.
How often will I need to come?
I find that weekly sessions are more beneficial, as this regular contact contributes to feelings of trust within our relationship. For EMDR, weekly sessions are recommended to maintain consistency and support progress.
How many sessions will I need?
Our work together can be open ended or session focussed; within our initial ‘coming together session’, we will talk through your expectations and how we can work towards this?
For EMDR, the number of sessions will depend on your treatment plan and the targets we identify together
Is our work confidential?
As a therapist I have both a legal and an ethical duty to protect your confidentiality. At our ‘coming together session’, we will talk through this so we both have the same understanding of confidentiality and my ethical responsibilities.
Where do you hold my information?
GreenShed Counselling Services follows the 2018 General Data Protection Guidelines, in the safekeeping of personal information, which is also fully outlined within our contract.
Do we review our work together?
I will review our work together as we go through your journey, to ensure it’s always focussed to your own needs.
What is your cancellation policy?
-
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment will be fully chargeable.
-
Cancellations made between 24 and 48 hours before the appointment will be chargeable at 50% of the session fee, unless we can reschedule within the same week. This helps cover the time reserved for the session.
Please note that no further sessions can commence until payment from the missed session has been received.
If for any reason I must cancel a session I will aim to provide you 48 hours’ notice, and you will not be charged for the session.
What if you see me outside of the therapy room?
I won’t make contact, to keep our relationship professional and safe.
What if I’m late for the session?
If you’re late, the session will still finish at the scheduled time.
What if I follow your therapy page on social media?
You’re welcome to follow the page for updates and resources. Although I won’t follow back or engage personally, to keep our professional boundaries clear
How do I make payment?
A reminder and request for payment will be sent 24 hrs before our session, as outlined in our contract.
