What you can expect
Once you have completed the contact form or booked online, we will ask you for more information about what you need from us. If you think our Online Counselling can meet your needs, an appointment will be made with you. Before your first session, you will be asked for necessary information about yourself and why you are seeking counselling, which will be kept confidential. You will also be asked to read and sign the terms and conditions and service agreement. Payment is to be made 24 hours before your appointment.
In your first session, your counsellor will invite you to share your concerns and ask you what you hope to achieve from counselling. Using this information, your counsellor will be able to understand your problem and they will develop a plan that meets your personal needs, and give you an estimate of the number of sessions you may need. It is important to provide honest information as it will determine treatment outcomes.
