Initial Consultation

I understand starting counselling can feel like a big step.
I still remember how scary my own first step into counselling felt nervous, unsure, wondering what it would be like. I see that same courage in every person who contacts me, and its powerful.

That's why I offer a free 30-minute introduction session to help you feel comfortable and explore how counselling can support you. This no-obligation session is a chance to meet, discuss your needs, and see if we can work together. Its a gentle way to begin your journey in a warm, welcoming space.

You're not alone. Lets start this journey together.
