STEEVES COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike. Ultimately, making small changes and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

The office is meant to be a calm, private and open space for you to share your vulnerabilities. I typically use the first session to discuss matters of confidentialily, to get a brief background and to get to know you and your circumstances, as we formulate a plan together. Ongoing, we carry-out that plan while continually checking in with progress.

If you are having your child or adolescent attend therapy, the first session is typically only attended by the parents or caregivers, and the child or adolescent will be present from then onwards.
