What to expect
Your counselling journey
Starting counselling can feel uncertain. Here is what happens, step by step, so you know what to expect.
Free 15-minute call
A short, no-pressure phone call to talk about what is happening and whether we are a good fit.
Book and complete intake
Book online through our secure client portal. You will receive intake and consent forms to complete before your first session.
Assessment
We take time to understand you, your relationship or your family. For couples, this includes a joint assessment and an individual session for each partner.
Feedback and plan
Rev. Father Joseph shares what he has learned and you agree on goals and a treatment plan together.
Ongoing sessions and review
Regular sessions, with progress reviews along the way so the work stays on track.
For couples and families
Couples and family work begins with a joint assessment, online questionnaires and individual sessions, followed by a feedback and treatment-planning session. Some joint assessments take 2–4 sessions.
Reminders and reviews
You will receive appointment reminders by email and text. We review progress together regularly, and plan for a good ending when you are ready.
