Frequently Asked Questions

I want and I don’t want to.
Until one is committed,
There is hesitancy,
The chance to draw back,
Always ineffectiveness concerning
All acts of initiative and creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What days and times are available?

My strength is, that I can and will be flexible to ensure that we will find session times that are convenient for both of us.  Be it at 7am, or 8.30pm.

How many sessions do I need?

It would be unethical to promise a ‘quick fix’ or to engage in never ending therapy sessions for you. However, clients committed to change have often stated that they feel ‘much better’ after about 4 to 6 sessions. Some clients even report more insight and a different approach to their issues after 2 or 3 sessions. Other clients choose to come back over a longer period of time, leaving first one week, than two, or even longer periods in-between sessions. It is a fascinating observation that most clients do seem to know exactly what they need, if they can be brave enough to be honest.

Do you practice a particular concept of counselling?

Counselling is not one specific process or concept for me. I am totally committed to provide the best possible outcome for you my client, rather than being wedded to a specific theoretical concept. Counselling is for me a proven way to address your issues by explaining and understanding what is happening, by exploring new and different solutions, and by experiencing better outcomes through in some cases actions that you may not have even considered.
Clients discover that they can influence their feelings and live a happier, healthier life, not by ‘discovering new landscapes, but by seeing with new eyes’.

I think my partner/son/daughter needs counselling. What can I do?

No one can ‘make’ someone else see things the way they want him or her to. It can be heart breaking to watch and very destructive to relationships. Counselling can show you how to deal with your concerns. Sometimes the behaviour of others will change if we act differently. I would like to encourage you to seek counselling. Together we can think about possibilities for you and your loved ones.

What are your fees?

The first session gives both of us the chance to get to know each other and to find out, what you think the problem is, and if I am the right person to help you. I will inform you about the way I work, discuss confidentiality, listen and answer your questions.
All sessions are 60 minutes and the fee is $90.

When can I ring?

Now! You can ring at any time. If I am in a session, please leave a message and I will get back to you, as soon as I can.
