What will happen during my counselling appointment?
As there are many different types of counselling, it is difficult to describe exactly what will happen in any given counselling session.
Some of the ways our counsellors provide support include:
- offering a confidential space to talk about your worries without fear of being judged or told what to do
- helping you to identify your needs and priorities
- developing an understanding of your current difficulties
- exploring and evaluating different ways of coping
- developing plans to help you manage after our work has ended
- signposting you to other sources of information, support, and guidance
Will my counselling appointments be confidential?
Under normal circumstances, everything you tell your counsellor is kept confidential.
If your counsellor believes there is a serious threat of harm to yourself or anyone else, they may need to break confidentiality. Whenever possible they would discuss this with you first.
These decisions are informed by the law, University policy and their professional bodies.
Our counsellors are registered or accredited members of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). They follow the BACP's ethical framework and professional conduct procedure, including their guidance regarding confidentiality.
