"...I believe that you are the expert in your own life, but sometimes
we lose sight of this with everything else going on,
and you just need someone who will really listen to you and assist you to
see things from a different perspective, " Carolyn

The working relationship between counsellor and client is one of the most important
aspects of what makes counselling work (Wompold, 2015).
We understand that going to a new place and meeting a new Counsellor for the first time, especially when you may be feeling quite vulnerable, may cause anxiety in some individuals
With this in mind we offer all prospective new clients the opportunity to have a
FREE 30 minute MEET and GREET
consultation with our Registered Counsellor Carolyn, grab a cuppa, and
have a look around the counselling studio
(Note Please: there is no obligation for a follow-up consultation).
