Getting Started

Choosing to see a counsellor can feel hard, and taking the next step can feel even harder. Our main goal is to make the process as comfortable and safe as possible.

​The relationship between you and your counsellor is unique. It’s built on trust, acceptance, understanding, and a non-judgemental approach. We encourage you to book an appointment or a phone consultation to see for yourself whether counselling feels right for you at this point in your life.

REACH OUT TO US FOR GUIDANCE

There are many great counsellors out there, and sorting through bios to find the right fit can feel exhausting, especially when you’re already feeling stretched.

We are happy to help!


 

We aim to respond within 24 hours with suggestions and next steps.​​​​​​​​​
 

 

OPTIONAL PHONE CONSULTATION

If you’d like to learn more before booking, our counsellors offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. You are welcome to text, call, or email to arrange one or more. Contact details for each counsellor are listed in their bio.

This call is a chance to “test the waters” and ask yourself: Is this someone I feel comfortable talking with? You can share a bit about what’s bringing you to counselling and ask any questions you may have.

 

Common questions include:

How often should I book sessions?

What approaches do you use?

What experience do you have in this area?

What does a typical session look like?

Can my partner and I see you individually?

What does your availability look like?

 

After the call, if it feels like a good fit, we can help you book your first session. 
 

We strongly believe that finding a counsellor you feel comfortable with is key to getting the most out of counselling.​​​​




COUNSELLING SESSIONS
 
Your counsellor’s first goal is to get to know you, your strengths, your goals, your resources, coping strategies, your informative life stories, and understand what you would like from counselling.

Whatever your goals (or even if you don’t have any yet), we’ll support you in shaping them and moving toward what you need. While different therapeutic approaches inform our work, we believe every person is unique, and so your experience will be tailored to what works best for you. Together, you and your counsellor will collaborate and find the relief, clarity, understanding, or personal growth you're looking for.

"The person in peak-experiences feels their self, more than other times, like a prime-mover, more self-determined. They feel their self to be their own boss, fully responsible, fully volitional, with more "free-will" than at other times, master of their fate, an agent."​

~Abraham Maslow, Toward a Psychology of Being, 1968
