Counseling
Here are three steps to follow if you are considering counseling with Ulf Lidman
1. Send me an e-mail:
ulf.lidman@ulflidman.se
- We agree on a time for your FREE consultation
2. FREE consultation
- For this consultation you need one of the following:
- A land line telephone number (no mobile/cellular)
- Skype
- MSN
- The purpose of this consultation is for you to decide if you want to give me the privilege of being your counselor. You are encouraged to ask questions about who I am, what my qualifications are, the way I work, my references and results. Remember that it’s never anyone’s right to get close to you and get to know you – it is a privilege that you offer.
- You give a brief picture of why you have contacted me. Together we decide if you think counseling with me is going to work and if I am the best support for you and your situation. If not, I will do my best to help you find somewhere that suits you better. I have a big network.
- If we feel that there is a match we will talk upfront about how many sessions you might need and what price tag will work for you. I am flexible and sensitive to your situation. Regular fee is £ 50 (British pounds) per 50-minute session.
- We book the three first sessions and you pay for those upfront.
3. Evaluation: After three sessions we do an evaluation to see if you are making progress and are happy with the counseling.
- This evaluation will be done through e-mail so we don’t have to take time from the sessions that you are paying for.
- If you are satisfied we will continue until you feel that you have reached your goals
- If you are not satisfied, I will do my best to help you find another alternative that works better for you.
- You book and pay for three sessions at a time.
- I recommend a maximum of 12-15 sessions for life crisis counseling and relationship issues. (Often it takes less than that) For addictive behavior I normally recommend 6 months contact.
