Discover what support could look like
Less focus on diagnosis. More focus on your individual needs for comfort, safety and wellness
Our aim is to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-clinical therapeutic space tailored to your individual needs. That may look like working towards recovery, improving and maintaining wellbeing, or just having a non-judgmental ear.

It’s my first time. What’s therapy like?
When starting the therapy journey, it can take some time to find the right practitioner and to then develop trust and safety with your practitioner. Often times, you might need to ‘shop around’ until you find someone to suit you and your preferred style of support. This is common, and it is the right way to look at therapy. Similar to a GP, it takes a few appointments to get to know you in order to find the right “medicine” to help you with your concern. As with a GP, if you feel unheard or unhappy with the service, you will likely not see them anymore and seek out someone who is more helpful.
Trust is the most important part of therapy. Its important you feel you can trust the person you have chosen to share your worries with. It is common to feel a bit uncomfortable at first, as building trust can take a few sessions. In my practice, I want you to feel comfortable to be yourself. I will check in with you, gain feedback from you, and be curious towards what is most helpful for you.
If after a few sessions, you don’t feel we are a good fit - no worries! You don’t have to book any future appointments. Or alternatively, I am happy to make recommendations to other practices more tailored to your specific needs.

It depends on each person individually and what you are seeking therapy for. It’s good to have regular sessions weekly or fortnightly when actively working on a concern, and they can be spaced out and less frequent as changes occur.
-
This depends on personal need and preference. A good rule of thumb is to commit at least 6 to 10 sessions towards achieving your personal goal or towards working on your concern. For greater concerns, long term regular sessions may be the most beneficial. This is something you can discuss and negotiate with your therapist.
