So I’ve decided I want coaching, counselling or bibliotherapy. What now?
Ask yourself these questions:
A) What do I want to do?
1. An agenda-driven approach to making changes or reaching goals (coaching).
2. Traditional talking therapy that integrates a variety of methods (counselling).
3. Being prescribed readings and/or viewings and/or listenings related to your particular situation (bibliotherapy).
B) Who is the session for?
1. Me alone (coaching, counselling or bibliotherapy).
2. Me and my partner/s (counselling).
C) How much time do I want to spend?
1. A one-off session to explore one issue in depth (coaching, counselling or bibliotherapy).
2. A series of sessions looking at one or more concerns (coaching, counselling or bibliotherapy).
3. An open-ended approach (counselling).
D) Where should this take place?
1. On the phone.
2. Online as a video call.
3. In-person as a walk-and-talk session (this is limited to certain areas in Norfolk and Suffolk; petrol charges may apply).
Note that you can change your mind. For example, you can start with a one-off walk-and-talk session and then decide you actually would like a series of sessions online. Or you might come for bibliotherapy and realise you’d like more in-depth coaching over the phone.
Feel free to start with a 15-minute no-obligation consultation.
