02

Attend your first session

Come into our Nedlands practice or join by telehealth from anywhere in Australia. Your first session is a chance to get to know each other.

03

Work together on a plan

Together we develop a plan that fits you and your goals. Therapy is collaborative, never one-size-fits-all.

If you're unsure about starting therapy, that's completely normal. The first conversation is a chance to ask questions, share what's on your mind, and decide together whether we're the right fit for you. There is no pressure to continue if it doesn't feel right.
