FAQsGood questions.
Here are a few things our clients often ask before starting.
-
About 30 minutes before your appointment, you will receive a link to join your video call with your therapist. During your first appointment, your therapist will ask you about your goals, experiences, and what kind of support you’re hoping to get. Then, with your therapist, you’ll start to delve into the therapeutic work that is aligned with your goals.

That depends on you and the issue you are coming to counselling for. It’s best to decide what frequency is most beneficial for your goals with your counsellor.
-
We offer online/virtual counselling only at this time.
With busy lives, it can be difficult to make time for an appointment, so we have made it easier to prioritise by offering online counselling with appointment times in the late afternoons and evenings.

The system will guide you to enter important information and email you links to the intake and consent forms.
