FAQ — Campbell Munro Counselling

Question 1

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you're hoping to get from it, and how we might work together. There's no pressure — it's simply an opportunity to see whether working together feels right for you.

Question 2

Is everything I say kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of counselling. Everything you share is kept private. The only exceptions are if there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, in which case I may need to take appropriate steps — but this would always be discussed with you wherever possible.

Question 3

Do you offer online sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sessions are available both in person and online via video call. Online counselling can be just as effective as in-person sessions and offers greater flexibility for those with busy schedules or who prefer to work from home.

Question 4

How long are sessions and how much do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are 50 minutes long. Individual counselling is £60 per session and couples counselling is £80 per session. I also offer a free initial 15 minute call so I can answer any questions you may have and explore whether working together feels right, with no obligation to continue.

Question 5

How do I make an enquiry?

Accepted Answer

You can get in touch by completing the enquiry form on this website, by emailing info@campbellmunrocounselling.co.uk, or by calling or messaging on WhatsApp at 07368 578918. I aim to respond to all enquiries as soon as possible.

Question 6

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This varies from person to person and depends on what you're working through. Some people find a short course of sessions helpful; others prefer longer-term support. We'll discuss this together and review regularly to make sure the work continues to feel useful and relevant to you.

Question 7

What is CBT?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that explores the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By identifying and gently challenging unhelpful patterns of thinking, CBT helps you develop more balanced perspectives and practical strategies for managing difficulties.

Question 8

Do I need a GP referral?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need a GP referral to access counselling with me. You can get in touch directly to arrange an initial consultation.
