AND THE DAY CAME
when the risk to remain
tight in a bud
was more painful
than the risk it took
to blossom.

Initial Consultation: Explore Your Fit
​My Offer for Prospective Clients - ​​​
Your Initial Session: No Financial Commitment Unless You Continue
​Taking the first step into counselling can feel daunting, and finding the right counsellor is key to creating meaningful change. Research consistently shows that any talk therapy's success is more about the strength of the relationship between therapist and client. This concept is often referred to as the "therapeutic alliance" and includes elements such as trust, mutual respect, and collaboration between the counsellor and client. A good fit is essential for lasting, effective change.​
To support you in finding the right counsellor, I offer a unique process that lets you explore whether we’re the right match—without any financial obligation until you’re confident in your decision to continue.
We begin with a 15-minute Discovery Phone Consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals and concerns and explore how I might support you. If you feel comfortable proceeding, we’ll arrange an initial in-person session, which is obligation-free—there’s no financial commitment unless you choose to continue.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, read on to learn more about how it works.
Work with Me - Your Initial Consultation
Discovery Phone Consultation
​​Arranging a time for a phone consultation is our first step in exploring whether we're the right fit. We'll discuss your goals, and how my integrative approach could support you.
Our phone conversation lasts around 15 minutes and offers a no-obligation, pressure-free way to get a feel for how I work. While we won't cover everything in depth, it may help you decide whether working together feels like the right next steps for you.
Your Initial Session: No Financial Commitment Unless You Continue
If you feel comfortable during the Discovery Phone Conversation​​, we can schedule your first in-person session. This initial session is obligation-free - there is no financial commitment unless you decide to continue. If you do choose the proceed, the session will then be billed as part of our ongoing work together.
I believe change in counselling, isn't about instant solutions - it's about the steady work of awareness, connection, and growth. While our initial session may not bring immediate change, it can offer a sense of possibility - an early glimpse into how our relationship might feel: safe, steady, and worth continuing. If you feel trust and rapport beginning to take root, we're on the right path.
​If this feels like the right approach for you, reach out today, and let's get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does your Explore Your Fit/New Client policy get applied?
I offer a unique policy for prospective clients: if you decide not to continue after your first session, there is no charge for that session. However, if you choose to rebook, the first session will be billed as part of your ongoing counselling. Committing to continue is not binding. You are not required to commit to a set number of sessions. You have the freedom to decide how best to move forward at any given point. This policy is designed to give you the opportunity to explore whether my approach feels right for you without financial pressure. Exclusions: Due to my limited caseload of six client bookings per week, availability for new clients under this introductory policy is restricted during times when my caseload is nearing capacity.
Where are you located?
I work from my home office in Casuarina on the Tweed Coast. You'll find the exact address in your booking email confirmation. Additionally, there is an option to use counselling rooms located in Tweed Heads South, although please note that this will incur an additional charge. We can discuss this further when we first connect, ensuring that the arrangement aligns with your preferences and needs.
