Beginning counselling can feel daunting. Please call or email me with any questions you may have.
 

• The first session is an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling, and what you hope to gain from the process. 
   

• Sessions last 50 minutes.
   

• We can discuss how often and for how long you wish to meet. Once a week or fortnightly is common but you can decide what suits your needs. 
   

• We will work at your pace. I have no set agenda for how things should go. My wish is for you to feel safe, valued, respected and certainly not judged.
   

• What's said in our sessions will remain confidential unless:
  I have concerns that you or others are at risk of harm.
  I am subpoenaed by a court of law.
   

• I have undergone extensive personal development as part of my training, including attending counselling myself. The self-knowledge I gained and the understanding of my own emotions and experiences allows me to bring myself fully to our sessions and to be present with you in a genuine and authentic encounter where we will both be changed by the experience.
   

• As a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) I abide by their code of ethics and practice. (Available on request)
   

• Please call me to discuss fees.
