Frequently asked counselling questions -


How often should I attend counselling, and how many sessions will I need?

 

The frequency of counselling sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Typically, clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and address issues consistently. As you progress, the frequency may decrease to bi-weekly or monthly sessions. Your therapist will help determine the best schedule for you based on your specific situation and the progress you make.

 

The number of counselling sessions you will need varies depending on your individual circumstances and goals. Some people may find significant benefit in just a few sessions, while others might require ongoing support over a longer period. Your counsellor will work with you to develop a personalised plan and regularly review your progress to determine the appropriate length of therapy.

​​


What can I expect in counselling sessions?

 

In counselling sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. Your therapist will listen actively, ask questions to understand your situation better, and work with you to identify goals and develop strategies to address your concerns. Sessions may involve exploring past experiences, gaining insight into current issues, and learning new coping skills. The process is collaborative, tailored to your needs, and aimed at helping you achieve personal growth and well-being.

​​


Do I need a referral for counselling?

 

No, you generally do not need a referral to attend counselling. You can contact a counsellor directly to schedule an appointment. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate for your sessions, a referral letter and mental health care plan from your GP are required.

​​


Will what I discuss in counselling remain confidential?

 

All information you discuss in counselling will be kept confidential and will not be revealed to anyone without your written permission. Therapists adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines to protect your privacy.

 

The only exceptions to your right to privacy involve the following:

  • Where there is reason to suspect that there is a risk of harm to yourself or another person.

  • Where there is reason to suspect that a serious crime is going to be committed.

  • In response to a legal requirement to do so.
