​What will happen in the first session?
At the first session, we will go through the Counselling Services Agreement together.  This document outlines the terms of our work together and ensures that we are aligned in our goals and commitments. We will also discuss the information you provided in the New Client Intake Form to better understand your needs and goals, and explore how we can work together to help you achieve positive outcomes and provide the support you need.

Is this a confidential service?
I take your confidentiality very seriously and operate within the ACA Code of Ethics
I would only consider sharing your information if there is a concern for your safety or the well-being of others, or if it is legally required by court order. 
In such cases, I will always have a conversation with you beforehand to discuss any potential disclosure of your confidential information.
Your confidentiality and trust is extremely valued in my counselling sessions.
