What happens in counselling?

All our counselling sessions take place in private, comfortable surroundings  on a one-to-one basis. The counsellor enables the client to explore personal concerns and life issues and find ways to resolve or manage them.  This is  done in an open, non-judgmental manner. We deal with a variety of  problems, including:

 Or we simply provide a safe place if you need to talk over any issue that is troubling you.

How long does it take?

We offer an initial interview to discuss how we can best help you. Sessions  are then arranged as needed. We schedule an hour for each visit.

 The number of visits very much depends on the type of problems you are experiencing. Someone experiencing minor situational problems may require a shorter period of counselling than those who have long standing issues which affect many areas of their lives.

What should I do next?

Just phone for an introductory session. You do not need a referral from a doctor.                                                 

The first session is to assess whether the counselling on offer is suitable for you and whether you  and the counsellor feel comfortable working together. Where necessary, we will try to offer a referral elsewhere.

What is the philosophy of OASIS?

OASIS offers a service that seeks to help people find peace in their lives, based on truth. We acknowledge the importance of body, mind and spirit in dealing with any situations we face as human beings  While we as  counsellors personally believe that the peace of God is the inner strength   that enables one to cope with the difficult experiences of life and we affirm the central truths of the Christian faith, we do not seek to impose these on  our clients.  We work with the client’s agenda whether the client shares our faith or not.   We are all trained counsellors and receive independent professional supervision and work to the Code of Ethics and Practice of the Association of Christian Counsellors.

Our service is not intended to compete with the help available through your own church, close relationships, a psychotherapist or a medical doctor.  Rather, it should be seen as a back-up and support to their services. We will not deal with matters of medical treatment, but will ask you to consult with your own doctor.
