What to expect

Below is an overview of what you can expect when you engage with our counselling services.

Initial Contact and Intake Process

Upon reaching out to us, you will be greeted by our friendly staff who will guide you through scheduling your first appointment.

You will receive intake paperwork electronically, which we ask you to complete prior to your first session (this will save us time in your first session). This paperwork helps us gain insight into your background, concerns, and goals for counselling.

First Session

Your first session with us will involve a thorough review of the intake paperwork. This provides us with a foundational understanding of your unique situation and allows us to tailor our approach to your needs.

We will introduce you to our person-centred counselling approach, which prioritizes your autonomy, self-discovery, and personal growth. This means that you are the expert on your own experiences, and we are here to support you in exploring and understanding.

During this initial session we will explore the vital question of "what do you want?"

Exploration of Thoughts and Behaviours

Subsequent sessions will focus on delving deeper into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours within a safe and non-judgmental space.

Through open dialogue and collaborative exploration, we will work together to identify underlying patterns and triggers that may be contributing to your challenges. We will also explore alternative perspectives and coping strategies to help you navigate these difficulties more effectively.

Safe Space to Be Open

Our counselling environment is intentionally designed to be a safe and confidential space where clients can feel comfortable being open and vulnerable.

We recognize and respect the unique experiences and societal pressures that many people face today, and we strive to create an atmosphere free from judgment, stigma, or expectations of traditional roles in society.

Counselling Options

We understand that each individual has different preferences and needs when it comes to counselling. Therefore, we offer a range of counselling options to accommodate your lifestyle and comfort level,

In-person counselling sessions at our conveniently located office.

Walk and talk counselling sessions, which provide the opportunity to engage in therapy while enjoying the outdoors and physical activity.

Phone counselling sessions for added convenience and flexibility, allowing you to participate from anywhere.

Video counselling sessions for remote access, providing the benefits of face-to-face interaction from the comfort of your own space.

Counselling sessions at your residence, available upon request, for added privacy and comfort.

We are here to help you navigate life's challenges, develop coping skills, and cultivate a sense of well-being and fulfillment in your life.
