What to Expect

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if it’s your first time.

During your first session, you’ll have an opportunity to share what brings you to counselling, discuss your goals, ask questions, and work with your counsellor to develop a plan that feels comfortable and supportive.

There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We simply meet you where you are.
