A first conversation
A free 15-minute initial consultation gives you space to explain what brings you here, ask questions and discuss whether counselling with Amanda feels right for you.
Session fee
The standard session fee is $185. Please contact Amanda to confirm appointment duration, available formats and practical arrangements before booking.
Do I need a referral?
You can contact the practice directly to ask about counselling. You do not need a referral to make an enquiry.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity to talk about what brought you in, what you would like to be different and any relevant history, at a pace that feels manageable. There is room for questions and no pressure to share more than you feel ready to.
Do I need to choose an approach?
No. Amanda will discuss ways of working with you in response to your circumstances, needs and goals.
Where and how can we meet?
Please ask Amanda about the session formats, locations and appointment times currently available. Outdoor sessions require an additional conversation about practical arrangements.
Privacy and confidentiality
Amanda will discuss confidentiality, consent and its limits with you before the work begins. Please keep an initial email enquiry brief rather than sending a detailed personal history.
