Frequently Asked Questions

Counselling is a collaborative process where you work with a professional counsellor to address personal challenges, explore emotions, and develop strategies to improve your mental health and well-being. It can help with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

In your first session, we'll get to know each other and explore the reasons you're seeking counselling. This will include discussing your current challenges, personal history, and what you'd like to achieve through therapy. Sessions are designed to be a safe, confidential space for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

The number of sessions required can vary depending on your individual needs and goals. Some clients begin to notice changes within 6-8 sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. We’ll regularly evaluate your progress to ensure the sessions are helping you reach your goals.
