A clear and gentle process

What to Expect from Counselling

You do not need to prepare a perfect explanation. The conversation can begin wherever you feel comfortable.

01

Before the first session

  • Submit a private enquiry or book an appointment
  • Select the appropriate service and time
  • Complete a short intake form
  • Accept the counselling and privacy terms
  • Make payment where applicable
02

During the first session

  • Understanding your main concerns
  • Discussing confidentiality
  • Exploring what brought you to counselling
  • Understanding your expectations
  • Identifying possible goals
  • Discussing whether further sessions may help
03

Continuing sessions

  • Explore concerns more deeply
  • Identify emotional or relationship patterns
  • Improve communication
  • Develop coping strategies
  • Understand difficult reactions
  • Make decisions and review progress
04

Number of sessions

Some clients seek one or two focused sessions. Others benefit from a longer process. The number and frequency of sessions will be discussed together and reviewed over time.

05

Ending counselling

Counselling may end when your goals have been substantially addressed, you feel more confident managing the concern, you wish to pause, or another form of support is more appropriate.
