Invested in your Therapy

Of course Havant Counselling has a vested interest in attaining your business.

But, if reading this website tells you that this isn’t the therapy service for you, we’ve still done our job (there’s no point in engaging with a therapy service that doesn’t seem right for you).

Here we list alternative resources – and some advice – for finding the right relationship counsellor for your distinct relationship needs.

Tips on Finding the Best Counsellor for Your Needs

When searching for a counsellor for your relationship, you will want to:-

  • Confirm that the therapist has actual qualifications in working with your needs (whether it’s generalised anxiety, or a more specific need as an individual, a couple or a group). Some training is not included in a majority of “first” qualifications (which may be focussed on individual counselling, so the counsellor may be inexperienced in couple or group work).  
  • Confirm whether the therapist has appropriate resources or experience in working with your needs. For couples: does the counsellor appreciate your style of relationship (eg some therapists advertise “Counselling for Biblical Relationships” which you may consider to be unsuitable for your LGBTQ relationship 🤦🏻‍♂️ ). 
  • You might prefer face-to-face counselling, video counselling or not be bothered either way. Any medium can be as effective as the other in experienced hands.  
  • There are different approaches to therapy, and different implementations of those approaches. It might be a good idea to budget to meet 2 or 3 counsellors and choose the one that your needs responds best to. 
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions. I welcome all questions in session, though some therapists do not / might appear a little evasive due to their therapy model. Include the counsellor’s style of response in your evaluation of them.
