How do you know it's time to seek counselling?

Question 4

What if your partner isn't ready for couples counselling?

Accepted Answer

If your partner isn't ready for couples counselling, don't worry—you can still make meaningful progress on your own. Individual counselling allows you to explore your options, develop strategies, and initiate positive changes in your relationship. It's a great first step toward building a healthier connection.

Question 5

I'm single, do I need relationship counselling?

Accepted Answer

If you find yourself consistently attracting the "wrong type" of relationships and experiencing the same challenging patterns in all of your interactions, it may be time to break the cycle.

Individual relationship counselling can help you identify these toxic patterns and improve your self-worth, allowing you to gain the confidence to ask for what you truly need. Helping you to attract the right person for you and grow strong and healthy future relationships.

Question 6

What is the duration of counselling sessions?

Accepted Answer

Individual counselling sessions typically last 50 minutes, while couples counselling sessions are 60 minutes. For your first session, it's a good idea to allow an hour for a thorough discovery process. Couples counselling also includes initial 40-minute individual sessions for each partner.

How much are Counselling Sessions?

Individual Counselling Sessions are $120 for 50 minutes. 
Couple's Counselling Sessions are $190 for 60 minutes.

Question 8

How often should you book counselling sessions?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of counselling sessions is entirely up to you. Many people start with weekly sessions to build momentum and then transition to less frequent visits as they progress. You're in charge—book sessions as they fit your needs and goals.

Question 9

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The amount of sessions required is entirely up to you. Depending on how complex some of your life issues are and what goals you want to achieve, you may want more or fewer sessions. The average amount of sessions is 8-20.  Most people start weekly and come less frequently when they feel more in control of their life and have assistance with challenges that come up.

Many people have ongoing counselling as monthly support throughout life. Engaging in counselling is a journey and does require a few sessions to get the benefits.

Question 10

How does TeleHealth Counselling work?

Accepted Answer

TeleHealth is online counselling. It enables you to have counselling in the safety and comfort of your home.

Once you book an appointment, you will receive an invite for your chosen appointment time. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Just before your appointment time, click on the appointment link on your phone, tablet, PC or laptop.

TeleHealth counselling is safe and secure. You will receive a unique link for each session, which is encrypted and ensures that our conversations are confidential.

Question 11

What's the difference between Telehealth and face-to-face?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is convenience. Not having to commute to your appointment, find parking or use public transport saves you valuable time and money. Many people enjoy the convenience of doing sessions from the comfort of their home.

Much research shows that the benefits of counselling in-person or online via Telehealth are the same for treating psychological issues. It is more about your personal preference.
