common questions
Therapy helps clients uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow them to deal with the challenges that arise in life.
Yes. Confidentiality is a respected part of therapy. Social workers understand that for people to feel comfortable talking about private and revealing information, they need a safe place to talk about anything they’d like, without fear of that information leaving the room. We take your privacy very seriously.
In general we recommend six counselling sessions to begin with but on many occasions more or less are appropriate. We believe that patients can take an active role in determining how many sessions are needed, depending on your goals and level of distress. While we’ll make recommendations you are ultimately in control
