Initial Session

Initial Session

Welcome to Helen Stephenson Therapeutic Counsellor, where I understand the significance of taking that initial stride towards personal growth. My Initial Session, based in Barnstaple, is meticulously designed to offer you an exclusive and transformative experience.


During this bespoke 30-minute session, I, Helen Stephenson, your experienced Therapeutic counsellor, will attentively listen to your concerns and evaluate your individual needs. In a secure and non-judgmental space, I'll guide you through exploring your emotions, thoughts, and challenges within a supportive environment.


What distinguishes my Initial Session is the individualised attention and compassion I provide. My empathetic and understanding approach ensures you're truly heard and acknowledged during our time together. Working closely with you, I aim to grasp your goals and aspirations, which will enable me to tailor the therapeutic process to precisely match your needs.


This Initial Session is pivotal for both of us to gauge if our collaboration is a fit. I firmly believe that establishing a robust connection between the client and the therapist is paramount for effective therapy. This session is your chance to raise queries, voice concerns, and decide if my therapeutic approach aligns with your expectations.


As our session concludes, I'll furnish you with insightful feedback and recommendations stemming from my assessment. I'll steer you towards the most fitting counselling services to suit your journey of personal growth. Whether you're seeking guidance for anxiety, depression, relationship matters, or any other challenges, my expertise will aid you in shaping a roadmap for positive transformation.
