When attending your first appointment it helps to arrive five minutes early to ensure you find the correct office.

If you wait in the lounge area directly inside the building entry, we will come to get you at the appointment time.

Suite A13 is straight ahead from the entry.

At the start of your session we will briefly confirm that you understand our practice policies. You will then be encouraged to discuss your reasons for attending, many people worry they will not be able to express their concerns easily. It is our experience that once encouraged to talk most people express themselves extremely well :)

We give you feedback and include you in determining the best approach to work toward change or solutions. At the end of the first visit we discuss with you the expectation for any further visits and how many may be required.

Attending counselling can help give perspective on a difficulty you haven’t been able to share with others in your life. At times even though we know we should be able to manage, certain anxieties and barriers prevent us from finding solutions to what can seem like minor problems. Or at times we are faced with impossible situations and getting help can give us hope as well as perspective.

People see us for many issues. They include family, parenting, marriage, relationship and sexuality concerns, depression, anxiety, sleep, and stress-related issues.
