Initial Session

Taking the first step to come to counselling can be difficult and overwhelming, not knowing what to expect or what it will be like.

If you decide you’d like to come for an initial session, please contact me by email or text.

Once we have agreed upon a time for our session, I will ask you to provide payment to secure your session time. 

I will also ask you to read the Counselling Agreement, and agree to this prior to or during our first session.

At our initial session I will ask you a bit about what has brought you to counselling at this time, and talk about any expectations or concerns you may have. This will be an opportunity to get a feel for how I work, and ask any questions. I won’t ask you to talk about anything that you’re not comfortable with. A counselling relationship can take time to develop, and I will work alongside you, at your pace.

If we decide to continue with our sessions, we will usually arrange a time for us to meet at the same time each week.
