Please reach us at angela@Purpleswancounselling.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Q. Are you a member of an Accredited Register?
A. Yes I am a Senior Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I am also a member of the EMDR Association UK. I adhere to their Codes of Ethics.
Q. How many sessions will I need?
A. Therapy is unique to each person so it is impossible to say. It really depends on each person and their individual experiences. I take my lead from each client and respect their choice around how many sessions is right for them.
Q. Is your work supervised?
A. Yes I have two clinical supervisors - one for my counselling and and one for my EMDR case work. It is an ethical requirement for all counsellors to have regular clinical supervision. I discuss my client work anonymously with my supervisors to ensure that I am complying with best practice.
Q. Are you insured?
A. Yes, I hold therapist's public liability insurance.
Q. How do I know if you can help me?
A. Therapy is a process that requires a commitment from you to work on yourself. Therapy is not about 'fixing' people but developing a greater understanding and acceptance of self and becoming more at ease. Some issues benefit from talking therapy, others a neurobiological approach can be more helpful. I integrate both to facilitate your psychological growth. As my work is confidential, I cannot provide you with examples of successful case studies. Many of my referrals come from personal recommendations of previous clients, my supervisor, colleagues and peers. You are welcome to review my qualifications, training and experience on LinkedIn and read my client testimonials on my website. If at any time I believe that I am not the right therapist for you, I will try to sign post you to an appropriate service.
