Your first session is an opportunity to share what brings you to counselling and to begin building a relationship with your therapist. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with.

Each of our practitioners has unique qualifications, areas of expertise, and therapeutic approaches.

If you are unsure, you can let us know your situation in the booking form and we will help match you with the right person.

Counselling often focuses on specific issues and practical strategies to manage challenges in the shorter term. Psychotherapy tends to explore deeper patterns, early experiences, and relational dynamics over a longer period.
