Our Process
What to expect in an individual counselling session.
In an individual counselling session, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to talk about what’s on your mind. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, set goals, and work through solutions at your pace to help you move forward.
Step 1
Getting to Know You
We’ll kick things off by chatting about what’s going on in your life and what led you to counselling. It’s your chance to tell your story, share your goals, and let me know what areas you want to focus on.
Step 2
Creating a Personalized Plan
Based on what we talk about, we’ll come up with a plan that’s all about you. This is your journey, and the plan will help steer you toward your goals, one step at a time.
Step 3
Progress at Your Pace
We’ll take things at a pace that feels good for you. No rush, no pressure—just steady progress as you gain new insights and build healthier habits along the way.
Step 4
Checking In & Adjusting as Needed
As we go along, we’ll check in to see how things are going. If something’s not quite clicking, we’ll tweak the plan so you’re always moving forward.
Step 5
Moving Forward with Confidence
As you start feeling more confident and empowered, we’ll focus on building the skills and strategies that help you keep up the progress you’ve made—so you’re ready for whatever life throws your way next.
