It depends entirely on the client and the type of therapy session that they want. For example, it’s normal to have telephone or online counselling sessions more frequently, say once a week. Whereas face-to-face counselling sessions might be less often, maybe every two weeks or once a month. If they wish, clients can use a mixture of counselling session types. This is a good way to get the benefits of each type if they cannot fit in a weekly face-to-face session. Normally, a weekly session is recommended at first. But the sessions can become less frequent as the couples work through their problems.
Again, it’s different for each relationship. Some people only need a few sessions to resolve their issues. Whereas for some couples who may be married and have a family together, it could take longer. This is because there are other people to consider. Each talking point may have different implications for their family, so can take longer to work through. Normally, I'll complete six sessions with my clients before doing a review. This is when we'll discuss whether they feel the need to continue with the sessions or not.
It’s not essential that both parties are present at every session. If each person has their own issues which are affecting their relationship, then individual sessions can be really useful. But for the most part, it's best if both parties attend every time, as it's the best way for them to work through their issues together. Coming to the sessions together often encourages people to listen to each other in a calm and proactive way. This can have a really positive impact on their everyday interactions with each other.

I found Fathima fantastic. I have had positive and negative experiences in the past with therapists, so when I decided to take on therapy again I was little apprehensive of how things would go, but she was brilliant. She brings great discipline but empathy to her sessions; really putting manners on my input and the expectations of myself. She has a wonderful temperament and is very professional. Her methods are so structured and sensical, that I looked forward to our sessions and completing the subsequent homework. I can't recommend her enough.

I was quite unhappy in my life and I found it difficult to complete a day at work without getting upset at the smallest thing. I have a demanding job and spend a lot of the day dealing with the public. Due to changes in work as a direct result of Covid-19, I started to take complaints personally and I thought they were all directed at me. Due to an outburst at work, my GP advised me to find “someone to talk to”, and I found Ken at A helping Mind. The first time I met Ken, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know what I was going to say, I didn’t know what he was going to say or whether I would sit there and cry for an hour. I didn’t know what was wrong with me or why I was struggling. Ken is very good at his job. He does a lot of the talking at first which is immediately relaxing. He explains how he operates - and because he told me something of his own journey, it was easy to trust him. Ken made sense of the mess in my mind. Every week I got food for thought, and I found myself looking for the triggers when I was faced with confrontation. I am a lot more relaxed now, I am calm enough at work to listen without reacting, I can take time in my head to come up with a solution for a dilemma, instead of thinking everyone is out to get me. I also have the safety net of knowing that I can go back to Ken if I need to - and that in turn is a relief as I no longer feel like I’m falling off a cliff on my own! Thanks Ken! Am

Clearview counselling helped me through a very difficult time. I was made to feel at ease and could discuss in a safe space. I was given reassurance, compassion and active strategies to try out to help me. Everything was in a way I felt comfortable with and if I didn’t want to try something out it was adapted to a way that I felt I could engage with. Clearview helped lift my cloud and gave me strategies to use when moving forward. Thank you.
