Counselling & Psychotherapy (Fully Accredited)
Counselling and psychotherapy are a way of becoming more aware and in tune with your experiences as they unfold from moment to moment. This allows you to develop a different set of experiences and so a more fulfilling way of being in the world. It offers you a safe and confidential space to explore what is going on for you, without the risk of being judged or criticised for what you say, how you feel or who you are.
A fully accredited therapist may be able to provide health insurance receipts.

What to expect
The initial session is a bit different from any other, as we will be meeting each other for the first time. We will use this opportunity in part to just get a sense of each other to see if we are a right fit, while also having the chance to find out more information about each other. For example, I might ask you why you have decided to come to counselling? Why have you come now? What are you looking for? and what are your expectations? You will also have the chance to ask me any questions you might have. How long this initial process will take changes from person to person but at some point, in the session we will begin the process of counselling and take it from there.
At the beginning of each session, we will check in to see how you are and ask you what you would like to use the session for. Often, we continue to work from where we ended the last session, but this doesn’t always happen, particularly if something more pressing has happened in the time since the last session. The majority of each session is made up of an exploration of your experience, in an attempt to generate awareness, gain insight and develop a richer understanding of who you are.
