WHAT HAPPENS IN A COUNSELLING SESSION?
Your first counselling session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you are currently experiencing and what you would like support with.
Your counsellor may ask questions about your circumstances, relationships, wellbeing and previous experiences to help build a clearer understanding of what you need from counselling.
The number of sessions will vary from person to person. Some people may find a shorter period of counselling helpful, while others may benefit from longer-term support.
If another therapeutic approach appears more appropriate, your counsellor can discuss this with you and explain the available options.
HOW CAN COUNSELLING HELP?
Counselling may help with a range of emotional and mental health difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and experiences of loss or change. It can also provide space to explore identity, relationships, major life changes or difficult experiences that may be affecting how you feel or function day to day.
Counselling does not always focus on a diagnosis, it is a way to better understand their thoughts, feelings and patterns and to develop ways of coping with what they are experiencing.

My son met with Dr Ram, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her down to earth approach. She was incredibly empathetic and caring. At our initial meeting she put my son at ease immediately and really took the stress out of a very stressful situation. Her warm approach and great sense of humour makes a significant difference in our experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatric care.

What is counselling?
Counselling is confidential talking therapy with a trained professional that gives you space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive setting. It can help people work through emotional difficulties, life events, relationship problems, stress, anxiety, and other personal challenges.
How does counselling work?
Counselling works by giving you the time and space to speak openly with a counsellor about what you are going through. At The Therapy Company, counselling is based on a person-centred approach, which means the sessions are designed to help you feel heard, supported, and able to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgement.
Who might benefit from counselling?
Counselling may be helpful for adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship breakdown, difficult life events, low self-esteem, anger, eating disorders, or other emotional challenges. It can also support people who want help understanding and managing how they feel.
Are counselling sessions one-to-one or can couples attend?
Counselling at The Therapy Company can be arranged on a one-to-one basis or as a couple, depending on the issues being addressed and what support is needed. This can be helpful for individuals working through personal difficulties as well as couples looking to address relationship problems.
What happens in the first counselling session?
The first counselling session is usually focused on getting to know you better and understanding your difficulties on a more personal level. It is often a chance to build trust with your counsellor, explore what has brought you to counselling, and begin discussing what kind of support may be most helpful.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
The number of counselling sessions needed will depend on your circumstances, the difficulties you are facing, and what you hope to achieve from counselling. Some people may benefit from a shorter block of sessions, while others may need longer-term support.
Do I need a diagnosis before starting counselling?

Your counsellor can talk through what you are experiencing and help you decide what support may be appropriate.
