Counselling
Ending therapy well
How to finish counselling without vanishing — Katie Green on goodbyes that are part of the work.
What this can look like
You feel better and you are tempted to simply not book. Or you feel worse and you want to leave without saying why. Both are common. Neither has to be the last chapter.
How counselling can help
Endings deserve a few sessions, not a cancelled text. We review what changed, what remains, and how you will notice if you need to return. You can stop. I would rather you stopped in the room.
When it is more than counselling
If you leave because you are in crisis, please tell someone who can help today — GP, 111, 999 — not only an empty diary.
