Will We Work Well Together?

Counselling is a personal partnership so finding someone who is a good fit for you is important. This is why we offer a complimentary 20 minute online consultation. You can get a first impression of your counsellor and ask questions. Your counsellor will tell you about themselves and their counselling styles. You can then decide whether or not to proceed with making a first appointment.
