Making space to understand & prioritise yourself

Telling your story, and making space for your varying feelings, in front of another person is courageous, empowering, and often healing. The human experience is an exhausting one. Acknowledging its impact on your functioning, and where that comes from, can help you access a greater sense of meaning, purpose and enjoyment life has to offer.

Determine Your Needs and Goals

Identify Your Issues: What do you want to work on? Anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, stress, or something else? Different therapists specialize in various areas.

Set Goals: Think about what you want to achieve through therapy. Do you want to gain coping skills, process emotions, or change behaviors?

Online or in-person — it’s your choice

Connect however you feel most comfortable, whether it’s virtual or face-to-face.

Have an Initial Consultation

Many therapists offer a brief initial consultation (either free or at a reduced rate). Use this time to ask questions about their approach, experience, and whether they think they can help you with your specific issues.
