Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length and begin by determining together what would be most helpful to focus on.
We will collaboratively set goals and work together to help you reach these goals. Video counselling is also available. If this is something you are interested in, please feel free to contact us.
You can expect to have counselling tailored to your needs. Each person is different and so it is important that you feel heard, safe and good about the counselling experience.
