FINDING THE RIGHT COUNSELLOR
Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the process. Every counsellor brings something different to the therapeutic relationship, and it’s important that you find someone you feel comfortable talking to. The relationship we build together is one of the most important parts of therapy, which is why I offer a free 30 minute consultation before we begin. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know one another, for you to ask any questions you may have, and to discover, without pressure or obligation, whether working together feels right for you.
