Book an Appointment

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU BOOK

After you book, you’ll receive an email with intake forms and important information to help you prepare for your first session. These forms help me understand your needs in advance so we can make the most of our session.

For children and teens, a parent or carer will complete the intake forms. I’ll also explain confidentiality, how sessions work, and what to expect moving forward, so there are no surprises.

If you have any questions before your appointment, you’re welcome to get in touch.

I want counselling to be accessible, transparent, and professionally delivered. Below are my current fees for Helpful Tools Counselling.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is central to my counselling work. What is shared in sessions remains private, except for legal and ethical obligations related to safety. These limits will always be explained clearly, and I work carefully to ensure trust, transparency, and respect at all times.
