What happens in a counselling session?
In the first session I focus on what is happening for you, take some history and determine how I can help you. Each counselling session varies and is tailored to meet your needs. I use a variety of approaches based on Gestalt Therapy. Sometimes I work with you with art figurines. I support you to reach your own solutions as you unravel your situation. You will expand your self-confidence, interrupt familiar patterns and build momentum for change.

How many counseling sessions?
The total number of counselling sessions varies. Generally it is around six. If the issue is more complex a longer time frame may be needed and we will discuss what you need. Some clients have counselling for longer periods, attending fortnightly or monthly. I provide a safe place for you to be supported, heard and accepted so you can gain clarity in your life.
