Five steps

How counselling works

A clear, structured, and personalised process.

The five steps

  1. 01

    Free initial consultation

    Begin with a free 20-minute consultation to briefly discuss your concerns, ask questions, understand how counselling works, and determine whether the service is appropriate for your needs.

  2. 02

    Screening & assessment

    Where appropriate, relevant screening and assessment tools may be used to develop a clearer understanding of your circumstances, concerns, strengths, and goals.

  3. 03

    Professional counselling

    Counselling provides a confidential, respectful, and structured space to explore concerns, relationship patterns, strengths, values, and areas for meaningful change.

  4. 04

    Personalised guidance & direction

    Counselling supports you in clarifying personal intentions, relationship goals, and areas for development, with therapeutic recommendations tailored to your needs, circumstances, and desired direction.

  5. 05

    Ongoing review & progress

    Progress and emerging needs can be reviewed throughout the counselling process. Where appropriate, outcome measures and professional review may be used to help monitor progress and inform the direction of counselling.

What happens when you begin?

Your first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to counselling, what you hope to achieve, and what kind of support may be most appropriate for your circumstances.

We will take time to understand the concerns that matter to you and begin identifying the areas you may wish to explore. Where appropriate, relevant screening or assessment may form part of the initial process.

For couples, individual screening or assessment may be completed separately and privately, where appropriate, before relevant findings are explored together in the counselling process.
