Counselling is listed among the ‘talking therapies’ as providing an opportunity to investigate whatever is currently most difficult or troubling.  In an atmosphere of attention, respect and empathy, there is room to explore all aspects of the problems or difficulties, to possibly find meaning or purpose, to examine goals and to contemplate solutions or change. 

People can seek help for particular issues such as: crisis management, identity, relationship/family difficulties, bereavement/grief, stress, addiction, depression, sexual/emotional/psychological difficulties or trauma; equally a sense of dissatisfaction, anxiety, doubts or divorce can be amongst the reasons.

Brief counselling or coaching can be beneficial to motivated clients who have reflected extensively on a specific problem and are prepared to work in a highly focused, demanding way.  This may require 3 to 6 consecutive sessions. Often no more is necessary, sometimes it is extended or repeated at a later date.

For long-standing problems or complex difficulties, open-ended counselling may be more useful, then the number of weekly sessions is not set in advance but continues by mutual agreement (generally not exceeding 20-30 sessions) – this can be termed psychotherapy in that the relationship between current problems and past events, family systems, self-regard, cognitive/affective strategies can all be explored in depth. 

The person-centred and experiential therapist does not aim to give advice, but rather to help clients examine their experience and clarify their thoughts/feelings, with the goal of increased client understanding of the problems, in the belief this will lead to the best personal solutions and to a general increase in health - being more at ease with self and surroundings, able to live life more fully and in tune with your abilities and values.  This approach derives from a humanistic, holistic view of people and is above all based on respect, honesty and empathy.

A variety of languages can be used such as English, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese or combinations thereof – the counsellor also has a fair knowledge of French, Italian and German.  This allows for optimal communication.

Regarding the length of therapy: this is always open for discussion, aiming to have no more sessions than necessary, but ideally enough to provide effective and lasting benefit.
