What happens if it doesn’t work?

As counsellors, we do not want to offer counselling which doesn’t work, or counselling that goes on any longer than is necessary or you want. We want you to be able to feel, looking back after you’ve finished, that your counselling was some of the best money you’ve ever spent and one of the best things you’ve ever done.

However, we can’t offer any guarantees: the factors that come into play in counselling are often just too many and complicated to be sure of the results.

The best safeguard for your time and resources is for both of us to be honest and open about how we feel we are getting along. If the counselling doesn’t work, it is no time to give up on counselling – it may be that you need a different counsellor or different kind of counselling. However, all that said, counselling certainly usually does help !
