Counselling

The Counselling Process

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. Counselling offers a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore what is happening for you at your own pace.

01

Introductory call

A free 20-minute phone or Zoom conversation to ask questions, briefly discuss what brings you to counselling and decide whether working together feels right.

02

Ongoing sessions

Regular 50-minute sessions offer consistent, confidential time to explore what is happening for you and focus on what feels most useful.

03

Outcomes

Counselling can support greater understanding, new perspectives and more helpful ways of responding. Every person’s process is different.

Ways to work together

Choose the setting that suits you

Each option offers the same confidential, thoughtful approach.
