Sally TS Counselling

What to expect

At our first session we will discuss the main difficulties that have brought you to therapy and decide how we will work together to help and support you. Very importantly it is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and ask any questions you may have about how I work and the therapy process in general. We will also agree a mutually convenient time to meet each week and the details of our contract.

Payments

Fees are due at the end of the session except the initial consultation fee which is due in advance. I accept cash and bank transfers.

“ We came to see Sally as a last resort. Our relationship wasn’t working; communication was lost; we were constantly arguing and literally were co-existing in our house. We both wanted to make it work but every technique or method we tried to introduce failed, so we thought, "Let’s try counselling, what do we have to lose?" Sally was very thorough: we had joint sessions and also 1 separate session each with her. She made an effort to understand our personalities, background and challenges we see. She addressed each challenge, taught us different communication techniques and gave us homework which we actually enjoyed doing! Sally is an active listener, she never judged or expressed strong opinions but she saw through excuses and pulled us up on them in a very gentle way. We both felt she cared, time in sessions flew but she never cut us off abruptly to end the session.

Within a few sessions we saw progress in our relationship. After 3 months Sally gently suggested we don’t need her anymore but we continued for another month fearing we will go back to old ways without her. It has been almost two years since our last session and we are very happily married now. Even now and then when we have an odd argument, and one of us stops listening, another one says, "Remember what Sally said", and somehow we resolve the issue after this magic sentence!
