What can I expect during my first counselling session?
Your first session is an opportunity for you and your counsellor to get to know each other. You’ll have a relaxed conversation where you can share your concerns and goals. The counsellor will explain how sessions work, discuss confidentiality, and answer any questions you may have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—this session is all about starting the conversation and building a safe, supportive relationship.

How long does counselling last and how many sessions will I need?
Sessions are 50 mins. The number of sessions vary depending on your personal needs and goals. Some individuals experience relief after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term counselling. I will work with you to create a plan that fits your situation, and you can always re-evaluate your progress as you go.

Is counselling confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a core part of counselling. Everything you share with your counsellor is kept private, with a few exceptions (such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law). This safe and secure environment is designed to help you feel comfortable and open up about your experiences.
