Is Skype Confidential?
Yes, all SKYPE sessions are encrypted to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
What happens during counselling?
You will be listened to attentively and patiently thus enabling you to explore issues that are affecting your life and achieve the outcomes you are looking for. What takes place in the sessions is controlled by what you choose to discuss and explore. I make an assessment and follow up with an in-depth email outlining our discussions and my recommendations with a tailored program to suit your needs.
How much does counselling cost?
$95 per hour and this includes all follow-up emails. My fees are affordable and available to everyone in need of professional help. My counselling services are 24/7 and I don't string people along for weeks, months or even years, as some psychologists and counsellors have the habit of doing. You can pay as you go or pay for 3 x 1 hour sessions and receive 1 session free = 4 x 1 hour sessions for $285.00.
How do I make an appointment?
You can make an appointment by email (info@couragetochange.com.au), phone (02) 4454 3556, or use my contact form and I will do my best to fit you in as soon as possible.
How do I pay for counselling?
Payment is made at the time of consultation by Master Card or Visa. Alternatively, you can do an internet transfer which takes up to 3 working days to process.
How many sessions will it take?
I work from a shorter term of therapy (4 sessions) and each person and situation is unique. The more effort you put in, the quicker you will get results. However, if there are traumas or relationship wounds, the therapy may be intermittent after the initial 4 weeks sessions until you are emotionally healed.
How long is each session?
My individual sessions are routinely 60 minutes long, and my patients are able to change long-standing habits in my 4 weeks program. Some, of course, take longer to achieve a positive, successful outcome. Co-dependency is learned behaviour - it can be un-learned in a short amount of time with the right tools.
