Counselling Agreement

Counselling is a way of helping people make decisions, face new challenges, set goals and be supported.

My responsibilities include :

• Listening and understanding you and your concerns.
• Helping you set goals, and
• Assisting you to reach those goals by using your strengths and resources.

Your responsibilities include:

• Being as open and honest as possible
• Setting realistic goals, and
• Working to achieve those goals.

I will do my best to provide the best possible counselling. I will do my best to ensure that you are fully informed about the methods used to help you to reach your goals.

Counselling works best when we both believe that we can really work together . If you have any concerns or questions about me or about what we are doing please tell me. While I want to help, in some cases I may not be the best counsellor for you. If that is the case, I will assist you in finding another professional helper.
