Sometimes life can feel a little heavier than usual. You or your child might be feeling overwhelmed by daily demands, adjusting to a big change, or finding it hard to manage emotions or relationships. Other times, there may just be a sense that something isn’t quite right even if it’s hard to explain why.

Whatever has brought you here is completely valid. There’s no “wrong” reason to seek support.

Therapy offers a space that’s just for you; calm, safe, and without judgement. While friends and family can be wonderful sources of care, psychologists bring professional insight to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and gently explore new ways of coping, healing, and growing.

And you don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. Sometimes, having someone who truly listens and helps you make sense of things can be the most meaningful step forward.

Your first session is a gentle starting point, a chance to meet your psychologist, share what’s been happening, and discuss what support would be most helpful. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out.

For adults and teens, the session usually involves talking directly with the person attending, with parents involved only when helpful. For children under 12, it can sometimes be helpful for parents or caregivers to meet with the psychologist first. This allows us to gather background, understand concerns, and plan therapy in a way that feels safe and supportive for the child.

Every session is tailored to the individual. Our goal is to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, understood, and supported from the very beginning.

We offer a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Rather than sticking strictly to one approach, we adapt these therapies in a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed way to suit each person’s unique needs. Every session is individualised, and we often blend techniques from different modalities depending on what you or your child is working towards.

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to cancel or reschedule a session. We ask for more than 48 hours’ notice to cancel without charge. If a session is cancelled or rescheduled between 24–48 hours, a 50% fee applies, and cancellations within 24 hours incur the full session fee.

These policies help us maintain a sustainable practice so we can continue providing high-quality, individualized care to all our clients.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, the length of therapy depends on your goals, needs, and circumstances. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months.

For children and teens, the number of sessions can vary depending on age, presenting challenges, and how they respond to therapy. Sometimes shorter, more frequent sessions work best; other times, longer sessions are appropriate.

Therapy is always tailored to you or your child. Our focus is on making meaningful progress at a pace that feels safe, manageable, and supportive, rather than following a set timeline.
