It’s very normal to feel anxious, nervous, or unsure about your first therapy session. Our therapists and/or social workers will provide a private, comfortable, safe, respectful and non-judgmental place for you to discuss anything you need to. In the first few sessions, the practitioner will typically ask you questions about yourself, your life, and any presenting problems you would like to work on. Together, you will create a plan of how therapy can assist you with these problems, how many sessions it may take, and how frequently you should meet. Prior to your first session it can be helpful for you to ask yourself what changes you would like to make in your life. The aim of therapy is for us to then work together to help you achieve those changes.

Each individual therapy session is 50 minutes in length. How many sessions you need depends on your situation and can be discussed with your therapist. After the first 1-2 sessions, your therapist will discuss what they think is an appropriate amount of sessions to help you address the presenting problem. This way you can set goals and work together on achieving them. Many factors can influence the length of therapy including the issues you are seeking help with, the coping strategies you already use, your support network and previous counselling you may have had.

We can see participants of both the Early Childhood Approach and NDIS participants if they have appropriate funding in their plan and are either plan managed or self managed for the portion of funding you wish to utilise.
