Peter Ellender Counselling

An initial session is an opportunity for me to learn about what has brought you into counselling, about your background and what you hope to achieve from counselling. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions. As I offer both ongoing counselling and short term work the duration of the counselling will also be discussed. The duration depends in large part on what you seek to achieve from counselling.

Subsequent sessions are generally weekly and last an hour. Regularity and continuity are important to the counselling process. Primarily I work through listening and talking but on occasions I may offer alternative ways of working if they seem appropriate for example using imagery, objects or drawing. Sometimes if it seems helpful we will agree things for you to do outside of the sessions.
