How counselling works
A gentle, collaborative structure
Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build consistency and support emotional stability. This may shift to bi-weekly or more flexible spacing over time. There is no fixed timeline – we work at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
01 Intake Session
The first session is an intake where we explore your background, current challenges, and goals for counselling.
02 Collaborative work
From there, we work together at a pace that feels manageable and supportive for you.
03 Closing session
When counselling comes to an end, a closing session provides space to reflect on progress and bring the process to a thoughtful conclusion.

For Parents / Caregivers
I understand how important it is to feel confident in the support your child receives.
My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where your teen can explore emotions, build coping strategies, and develop emotional awareness.
Counselling is confidential. Outside of safety concerns, session content is not shared in order to support an effective therapeutic space.
If you have questions about the process, you are welcome to get in touch for clarity.
