The first session is the place where you and your counsellor get to know each other. This could involve a lot of talking from you, and a lot of listening from your counsellor. If you’re not the talking type, or just not ready to talk freely about the matter, your counsellor can assist with the questions. It is the space for you to develop a sense of safety that can be drawn from during future sessions, and the space for your counsellor to provide nourishment.

There is no minimum or fixed number of sessions that you need to attend. We will make a treatment plan together review this regularly

In general six counselling sessions to begin with but on many occasions more or less are appropriate. Clients can take an active role in determining how many sessions are needed, depending on your goals and level of distress.

Short term treatments often range from 4 - 12 sessions. Longer term treatments can also help with more complex or longer standing issues.

Most clients attend weekly or fortnightly, and will often drop down to monthly sessions when they feel they are ready. Therapy is a long-term journey of commitment, growth and investment in yourself. After a while, you may continue to book occasional check-in sessions as you feel more confident in your day to day life with the knowledge and tools you have gained.

Cancellation within 24 hours of appointment time will incur a 100% session fee ($100).

Whilst I cannot narrow down what I do into a specific type of counselling, there is a strong emphasis on a person-centred practice to support the client’s journey. I foster a self-directed approach which focuses on the client and what they want and need from each session. The aim is to bring the whole mind, body and spirit into each session. This could include solutions-focused, goal-directed approaches, or sitting in silence, learning to feel one’s body again. I am always considering the whole person’s psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing.
