What To Expect
Reaching out for Counselling can feel overwhelming and it is completely natural to feel nervous about this new experience. As you begin creating a new pathway in your life for more healing and self-love, my hopes are to create a place you can go to feel grounded, comfortable and safe to explore yourself. You will be supported fully throughout.

After your free 30 minute consultation, we will make the decision if we are going to move forward working collaboratively together.
If yes, I will proceed in sending you the contract. Please read through this document carefully and thoroughly. As always, if you do have any questions, please contact me.
Then, when you are happy, sign and return the document to me. I will also sign it and send you a copy.
I will then contact you to book our first session.

All sessions are 50 minutes and delivered online
For most clients, sessions take place once a week, as regular appointments help build a consistent therapeutic relationship and allow meaningful progress over time. However, we can discuss what feels most appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Sessions are held using a secure online platform with end-to-end encryption, providing a confidential and protected space for us to work together.
Approximately five minutes before your session, I'll email you a link to join our private online meeting room. Simply click the link when you're ready, and we'll begin at your scheduled time.

To get the most out of your sessions please ensure:
A good internet connection.
A quiet, private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly.
A device with a camera and microphone, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Finding a place where you won't be interrupted can help you feel more relaxed and able to focus on yourself during our time together.
-
At times, we may experience technical difficulties. Should this happen for either of us, we can attempt to reconnect.
If this is not possible, we can continue the session by phone or reschedule.
-
The first session is about settling in to this new space. Even though the contract will already be signed, it is important we go through it together to allow further alignment on the aspects covered.
Then we can start discussing what is presenting for you and what has brought you to counselling at this time.
This session is the beginning of a collaborative professional relationship built on empathy, understanding and unconditional positive regard.
By the end of the first session, you will have a feel for the space we will be sharing and hopefully feel comforted knowing that I am here to support you as you navigate this part of your journey.
