Meeting a therapist for the first time can feel like a first date. If you don’t connect with your counsellor after your first or second session, we’ll pair you with a new practitioner and your next session will be on the house or fully refunded.
Every therapist is different and their therapeutic style and personalities are all unique. However, all of our counselling practitioners will hold a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you, where you are free to be who you are. Your therapist is there to listen to you, guide you, and help you overcome life’s challenges.
Generally, you’ll spend the first session getting to know each other, talking about your history and what it is you’d like to work through. From your second session onwards, you’ll get to go deeper, peeling back the layers and all the while learning practical strategies to help you transform and grow.
At the Online Counselling Clinic we encourage our clients to have at least 1-10 sessions. Though this is dependent on your needs and recommendations made by your therapist.
Everyone is welcome to attend online counselling or therapy. Online counselling or therapy via Zoom is an accessible, safe and convenient option for those who are unable to attend face-to-face appointments, or simply prefer to meet online. Whether it be a busy schedule due to work and family, health-related reasons or distance, online counselling can help you.
Our team of trained clinical counsellors, psychologists, psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors attend to a range of common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues and more.
A number of practitioners also specialise in areas such as sexuality, gender and identity, addiction, sports and performance, personality disorders and therapy for children and adolescents. Several therapists also provide services in marriage counselling and couples therapy.
We recommend setting up for your online therapy session 5-10 minutes before it commences. Make sure your computer or phone microphone and video is working, and that you are comfortable and ready to sit through your session uninterrupted.
There’s zero pressure to prepare anything for your first session but if you find it helpful, you can jot down some points about specific things you’d like to work on or discuss with your therapist.
For first time clients, payment is made via debit or credit card at the time of booking. For returning clients, there are a number of payment methods available such as authorised direct debit or online via the payments link on your invoice.
Here's what we know about human beings: we're great at putting ourselves on the end of that list of things to do.
We'll help ourselves when we actually break, or when we have more money, or when we've sorted our kids' stuff out...but will we?
What if we don't get the chance? What if it's too late?
Simple fact is, life changes, it throws us curveballs, and it affects us all in different ways.
Please know, that regardless of where you get help, you deserve a supportive person in your corner...before the going gets too tough.
We can be that person for you – you just have to trust yourself.
