How long will it take till I feel better?
That really depends on many factors like your presenting issues and underlying issues and whether you have previously engaged in counselling and other activities that raise self awareness and heal trauma. Many people feel better just from beginning or continuing their self growth journey.
" I feel like working with Constanze has really helped me be more confident and try new things. "
Do I have to subscribe to a number of sessions?
I usually offer an open ended service. You may continue with your sessions for as long as you find them beneficial. My expertise includes short and long-term counselling. It is usually recommended to have an ending session if you have been coming for some time.
What is the cancellation period?
Counselling is an ongoing weekly commitment. You may discontinue your weekly commitment with a minimum of 48 hrs notice at any time.
An ending session is usually recommended.
Is counselling right for me?
If you feel drawn to counselling at this time, then it probably is worth giving it a try. The first session is also an assessment where you can see counselling is like and how well we can work together.
" I can wholeheartedly recommend Constanze for anyone seeking counselling. Our sessions have been transformative, improving my metal wellbeing, sense of self and the quality of my relationships with others. "

In order to reserve your weekly space, the full session fee is due even if you are able to attend. This enables me to to hold the space for you ready for your return.
During the Covid lockdown I undertook comprehensive training in online / telephone counselling and am now able to offer a blended approach meaning you may move individual sessions online / telephone with a minimum of 24 hrs notice, even if you usually attend in person.
You may request a brief phone call of up to 15 mins prior to booking your assessment session if you want to work online / telephone, for in person session I usually always suggest a brief call to discuss any practical issues.
