Anita Hobbs Counselling and Therapy for South and West London

Frequently Asked Questions


What happens in our first appointment?

The first counselling session gives you the opportunity to express your concerns and what it is you want to gain from counselling. It's a talking, listening and reflective process, with some spaces for quiet without demands being made of you.

How long does a counselling appointment last?

Counselling sessions are arranged between ourselves and last for one hour. How many sessions you need would depend on the reasons you may be seeking counselling. Some people have very specific issues where a few weeks would be appropriate. Others may require a longer timescale. We could discuss this at your initial appointment.

Can I be confident that counselling is confidential?

Everything that is discussed is completely confidential.

How can I know that you are the counsellor for me?

Only you can be the judge of this for yourself. I have much training and a lifetime’s experience informing my methods with which to help my clients. Why not try a first session and see how it feels and then make a choice for yourself? Making your own choice is important and self empowering.

How long will it take for me to start to feel better?

Just to have a person able to truly listen to you often has an immediate impact for good, and then starts the real process of counselling and getting on with the work of moving forwards more positively.

I've always been in control, now I feel so overwhelmed?

It seems part of the human condition that at some point something within life may overwhelm us and we feel deserted by our previous confidence and relieved of our peace of mind. Getting the right kind of support can be crucial to your wellbeing and often a quiet time for reflection and release can help you to start concentrating once more on what lies ahead for the future.
