What to expect

Counselling is a very individual process that can vary a great deal depending on client’s goals and the therapist’s approach.

During our first session we will discuss confidentiality and limitations to confidentiality (such as cases when harm to a child or other immediate safety concerns are disclosed).

If you are seeking counselling for your teen an initial session with only parents attending may be useful depending on the age of the teen and history.

Beyond those basics what counselling looks like for you is collaborative and flexible.
