A consultation session typically lasts for 1 hour and involves a face to face detailed discussion of the issues concerning the client. The number of sessions required varies and is usually agreed upon between the psychologist and the client.
Sessions may involve:
• Assessing the emotional, intellectual and behavioural functioning of the client
• Exploring the thoughts, emotions and behaviour of the client and tracing their origins
• Helping the client develop effective ways of controlling and coping with these difficulties
• Helping the client to implement changes that enhance wellbeing and awareness, and alleviate the presenting problems.
• Use of a range of psychological instruments such as questionnaires and scales.
Client privacy is always protected as psychologists follow strict guidelines for professional conduct that cover confidentiality.
