Description of service
Counselling involves the provision of professional counselling to address personal, social, emotional needs. I provide a confidential service to help you create a new prospective with yourself and others, finding unique solutions to your difficulties and personal challenges.
I will provide a safe environment and support and guidance throughout the counselling process. I will work with you to identify your goals and tailor sessions to suit your individual needs.
My core therapeutic approach is Solution Focused Therapy, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Wellness techniques into my practice.
Client Involvement
Counselling is a collaborative process; your active participation is essential to the success of your counselling sessions. You are expected to be open and honest with your counsellor, to attend scheduled appointments and actively engage in the counselling process.
You can cancel your counselling sessions at any time. If I decide to cancel our counselling sessions, I will discuss the reasons with you and discuss options for any further counselling sessions with other suitable parties.
Session duration and cost
Typically, each session will be between 50 and 55 minutes. Sessions will be scheduled regularly, either weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on need. Each session will cost $120.00 including GST. If you miss a session without providing 24-hour notice to your counsellor, you will be charged the full session amount.
Guarantees
While counselling is helpful for many people, there are no guarantees on specific outcomes or results. Effective counselling sessions depend on many factors. Your motivation and willingness to participate in sessions, your unique circumstances, the personal relationship and approach of your counsellor and your commitment to the counselling process all have an impact on the timeframe and outcome for achieving your goals.
Confidentiality
All information disclosed during your session are strictly confidential with the following exception, I have a duty of care to protect myself and yourself, or someone else who is deemed at risk of harm. I will notify you if this is the case. All notes are electronically stored, secure and backed up.
