Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship at Thrive Therapy Aberdeen. It’s essential for creating a safe and trusting space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of judgment or disclosure.
What does confidentiality mean in practice? It means that anything you discuss during your sessions will be held in the strictest confidence. I will not disclose any information about you or your sessions to anyone else, except in very specific circumstances where I am legally or ethically obligated to do so. These exceptions generally involve situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or where there is a legal requirement to disclose information.
I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, which outlines clear guidelines for confidentiality. This commitment to confidentiality allows you to explore your concerns freely and honestly, knowing that your privacy is protected. If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, please don’t hesitate to ask during your free consultation or at any point during our work together.

It’s natural to wonder how long therapy might last. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as the duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people find that a few sessions provide the support and insights they need, while others benefit from longer-term therapy.
At Thrive Therapy Aberdeen, we’ll regularly review your progress and discuss your needs. Ultimately, the length of your therapy journey is a collaborative decision, and I’ll work with you to determine the best approach for your individual circumstances.
A counselling consultation at Thrive Therapy Aberdeen is a chance for us to meet and explore how I can support you. It’s an informal and confidential conversation where we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions you may have.
I’ll explain my approach to counselling and answer any questions about my experience and qualifications. This initial meeting helps us determine if we’re the right fit for working together and allows you to feel comfortable before committing to further sessions.
