Please note that Carrol Rouse only works face to face and Kate Fronda can do either face to face or online via Zoom.
Counselling sessins are generally weekly, lasting approximately 50 minutes and will be typically be on the same day and time, suitable to you and within our hours of operation. It is expected that the session will begin at the agreed time. Any session that begins after this time due to late client arrival for whatever reason cannot be extended beyond the agreed finish time. If you do not arrive or call within 20 minutes of the agreed appointment, this will be considered a cancellation and we will not be available for the remainder of the session.
Psychosexual and supervision sessions will either be weekly appointments, lasting approximately 50 minutes or fortnightly, with sessions generally being 1.5 hours.
We usually suggest that you agree initially for 4 sessions and then we can discuss whether you would like to continue. For most people, 6 to 8 sessions is the minimum needed to achieve positive change, but every client is different and this is something we will review regularly together.

The content of therapy and supervision sessions are confidential and that confidentiality continues after the therapeutic relationship has ended. The very rare exceptions to this are:
If you have given us clear, written permission to contact someone, for example your GP
If we think that you are at serious risk of harming yourself or someone else
If a court of law or similar statutory body compels us to give information
If you make a complaint and we are required to give evidence about our practice
If you disclose involvement in drug trafficking or act of terrorism
If a child safeguarding issue arises
During our own professional supervision, client issues will be discussed, but full anonymity will always be maintained.
