Work With Me

A practical place to start

Whether you're coming on your own or with your partner, our work begins with understanding what brings you here and whether my approach is appropriate for your situation.

I favour structured counselling with a clear direction, rather than sessions continuing indefinitely without reviewing what we're working towards.

We'll agree on an initial focus and revisit it as we go. The number of sessions will depend on your circumstances, preferences, and whether the work remains helpful.

Start with a free consultation

Before booking a counselling session, you're welcome to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call.

This is an opportunity to briefly explain what you're looking for, ask questions about how I work, and discuss whether counselling with me may be a suitable next step.

It isn't a counselling session, and there's no obligation to continue.

If your needs fall outside my professional scope, I'll explain this and, where possible, suggest a more appropriate route to support.

After the free consultation, if you decide that you want to move ahead with a counselling process, there will be a cost for that (see below).

Sessions are available online (preferred), with in-person appointments in the Ceres area by arrangement.

Fees for groups and workplace training/discussion sessions are quoted separately.

Important Note:

All sessions are private-pay services and are not billed to medical aid. Fees are explained and agreed before counselling begins. Payment and cancellation arrangements are provided when booking.

Now, before you decide to book any sessions with me, it's also important to ask yourself an important question:

Is this the right kind of counselling for you?

My work focuses on relationship wellness, communication, personal development, everyday challenges and broader wellbeing within my professional scope.

I do not provide psychiatric diagnosis, psychotherapy, or services reserved for appropriately registered clinical professionals.

Where a different level or type of support would be more appropriate, we can discuss referral options.

If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a message.
