If you're unsure whether counselling is right for you, you're welcome to get in touch for a confidential conversation before deciding whether to book.
What is your availability?
I offer counselling sessions Monday to Thursday, between 10am and 7.30pm.
Availability for new weekly and fortnightly clients changes regularly. The best way to find a time that works for both of us is to get in touch and we can compare our schedules.
How do I get started?
We begin with an initial session, giving us the opportunity to meet, talk about what's brought you to counselling and see how it feels to work together.
If you feel comfortable and we're both happy to continue, we can arrange regular sessions from there.
There's no obligation to commit to ongoing counselling after our first session.
What happens in counselling?
Counselling gives you a regular, confidential space to talk about what's happening in your life.
Together, we can explore the difficulties you're facing and begin to understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences more deeply.
Over time, this can help you develop a greater understanding of yourself, your needs and what might help you move forward.
I won't tell you what you should do or give you a set of answers. Instead, I'll support you to explore what feels right for you.
Are my problems too small for counselling?
"I'm sure other people have it worse than me."
It's easy to compare our experiences with those of others and wonder whether our problems are really significant enough to seek help.
But there is no threshold you have to reach before you're allowed to ask for support. If something is affecting you, it's worth exploring.
You don't have to justify how you feel or wait until things become overwhelming. Counselling offers a space to understand your feelings, whatever has brought you here.
Are my problems too big for counselling?
Sometimes life can feel so overwhelming that you don't know where to begin.
Perhaps you're struggling with something that's happening right now, or something that happened a long time ago. Maybe it's a feeling you've carried for years, or something you've only recently begun to experience.
You don't need to have everything worked out before you come to counselling.
Person-centred counselling allows us to start wherever feels right for you and take things one step at a time. We can work together to make sense of what's happening and find a way forward at your own pace.
Do I have to know what's wrong before I start counselling?
No.
You don't need to have a clear explanation for how you're feeling, or even know exactly what you want from counselling.
Sometimes the most important place to start is simply by talking about what's been happening and seeing what emerges.
How often would we meet?
Most clients choose to meet weekly or fortnightly, depending on their circumstances and what feels right for them.
We can talk about this together and review it as our work progresses.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What you share in counselling is treated as confidential, within the professional and ethical guidelines that apply to my work.
I'll explain confidentiality and its limits clearly when we first meet, so you know what to expect.
What happens if I'm not sure counselling is right for me?
That's completely okay.
Getting in touch doesn't commit you to ongoing counselling. We can have an initial conversation about what you're looking for and whether you feel I might be the right counsellor for you.
