Thomas Bale Counselling

About

My approach to counselling
There are many different types of therapies out there and it can be very difficult to know which one to choose.

I prefer an investigative approach to counselling, this can help me get to the core of the issue. This then allows me to offer the correct methods and approaches depending on what your needs may be.

I’m experienced in a wide range of areas and am always learning and enhancing my practice by attending workshops and training. This helps me keep up to-date with current research in the counselling field.

What to expect from a session
Coming to counselling for the first time can be a daunting experience. In your initial session we can talk about how we are going to work together, and any particular anxieties you may have about counselling. We will also talk about what you want to gain from attending counselling. It's up to you how many sessions you would like to have. You may find that you have achieved what you wanted after only a few sessions, or you may feel that regular appointments would be more beneficial.

Socially distanced sessions
There will be steps in place for your safety as well as ours. Face masks will have to be worn by both Tom and yourself, if you do not have a face mask, don't worry we can provide you with one. There will be hand sanitizer provided for when you enter and exit the building, but please feel free to wear gloves, and at all times social distancing will be in place. To achieve this the session room has been measured and rearranged to allow for a 2 meter distance at all times.

If you still don't want to have a face to face session we are offering video chat sessions, see the services and fees page for more information.
