What To Expect

Starting counselling can feel daunting.

Many people worry about what to say, whether counselling is right for them or what their first session will be like.

Your first session is simply an opportunity to talk.

We’ll discuss what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have and explore how we can work together moving forward.

There is no pressure, no expectation and no right or wrong thing to say.

A Safe Space To Pause, Reflect & Move Forward

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationships, loss or simply feeling stuck, counselling can provide the space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward.
