That depends on your goals, needs, and circumstances. Some people benefit from a short series of sessions, while others find ongoing support helpful. We’ll discuss this at our first session and regularly check in about how things are going and what feels right for you.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know you and to understand what brought you here. We’ll ask about current concerns, relevant background information, and goals. There’s no pressure to share everything straight away — we move at your pace. Using what we've learned, we'll start to explore what might be contributing to the challenges you're facing. If time allows, we'll also begin to create a flexible plan together for moving forward with therapy.

Yes — what you share is kept private. However, there are a few exceptions, such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law (e.g., court orders). We’ll talk more about this at your first session so it’s clear.

If your child is struggling with emotions, behaviour, friendships, school, or big life changes — or if you feel unsure about how to support them — therapy might help. Feel free to contact us for a conversation about whether it's the right fit.

A psychologist is a university-trained mental health professional registered with a national body (AHPRA) and trained in evidence-based approaches to support mental wellbeing. The profession is highly regulated.

A counsellor may have varying levels of training and often provides support for specific life issues or emotional challenges.

A coach generally focuses on goal-setting, performance, or personal development, and is not necessarily trained in mental health.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. They often support people with medication management as part of their treatment.

Psychologists are trained in understanding how people think, feel, and behave. They provide therapy and use evidence-based approaches to support mental health and wellbeing.

Psychologists can also carry out psychological assessments to better understand a person’s emotional, cognitive, or developmental needs — especially helpful for children and young people.

Psychologists and psychiatrists often work together as part of a care team.
