FAQs

WHAT IS COUNSELLING?

Counselling provides a safe space for you to talk about different issues that are or have had an emotional impact on you.

The therapist acts as a sounding board to listen, support, enable and work with you to talk about how you’re feeling and understanding your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Counselling can also help you understand why you feel a certain way and provide tools to help you cope.

FEES - MUCH DOES PRIVATE THERAPY COST?

At Fit for Life NI, we provide different payment options to suit our clients.

The first meeting will be an initial assessment - please visit the Pricing page for more information on fees.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?

It is recommended you attend counselling once a week for at least 6 weeks at the start of your treatment.

This will allow us to build the foundations of a trustworthy & professional relationship.

There isn’t a limit on how many sessions you attend for private counselling however, I will review this with you every couple of sessions to make sure you’re happy with the process and we will decide how to move forward together.
