Counselling - Getting Started
Counselling in Exeter with Chris Cowen –experienced and accredited counsellor
Choosing the right counsellor for you is an important decision, so don’t be afraid to shop around. You will want to be satisfied that the person you choose has the necessary experience and qualifications and works in a professional and ethical manner.
You will also want to feel at ease with this person, have the necessary degree of trust and be able to talk openly about things that may be deeply personal to you.
You won’t really know if I offer these until we have met, which is why I suggest a free initial meeting. This gives you the opportunity to talk about what is leading you to counselling and to discuss how it might benefit you. We can also discuss what this might mean in terms of the number and frequency of sessions, etc.
By the end of this meeting you will have enough information to then, in your own time, decide if you want to take this forward. If you do we can book the first full session and get started.
How much will it cost?
I charge £35 per hour session, which you can pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer.
I also offer some concessionary rates, so feel free to enquire about these.
Apart from the price, there is also your time and energy and don’t under estimate either. The Counselling process often extends beyond the sessions themselves, as you make sense of what you have talked about and perhaps begun to make some changes and adjustments to your life.
Making Initial Contact
Sometimes making the initial contact can seem like a bit of an ordeal, particularly if you are not feeling good. But all journeys begin with a first step, so please feel at ease about either phoning or emailing. I always look forward to talking to new people and I’m very happy to answer any questions you may have.
If I’m not available when you call then please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
