Time to get to the nitty gritty. In these hourly sessions, we explore the current and past challenges that have led you to seek out counselling. We talk through certain events and the resulting feelings. We then draw this back to the counselling goals you set out. During these sessions I will do one or more of the following, depending on your therapeutic needs:
-
Always provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space where you can voice your concerns and express your feelings
-
Help you to identify your strengths and resources
-
Help you to set goals and develop concrete action plans for managing or overcoming the obstacles to your well-being
-
Help you to identify the thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and/or circumstances that are interfering with you meeting your goals
-
Make use of a specific agreed upon intervention that is appropriate to your goals
-
Provide you with relevant information, verbally, via white-board and/or in handout form
-
Suggest some reading or writing assignment to help you gain insight into your concern(s)
-
Give a homework assignment to be completed between therapy sessions
