Next Steps & Contact Details
I understand how daunting it can feel to start therapy, and how important it is to find the right therapist. I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation so that you can get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you. Please get in touch by phone/text: 07756 320 775, or email: shellyramuducounselling@gmail.com and I will respond to you within 48 hours. If you want to go ahead and arrange an initial consultation session we can agree a time and date.
What happens in the initial consultation session?
This session is a chance for us to get to know each other, for me to tell you a bit about how I work and for you to talk about what has brought you to counselling. At the end of the session if you decide that you would like to work with me then we can agree a regular weekly time for your sessions.
What happens in the counselling sessions?
Your counselling sessions are led by you, so you can talk about whatever feels important to you. You may want to talk about things that have happened recently or in the past. At times you may want to sit in silence and think things through, or simply sit with your feelings. Throughout the session I will listen to you without judgement, and I will help you to explore your experiences so that you can begin to gain insight, to look at things differently, and to consider your options.
When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn't matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades. The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn't see before.
