What to Expect:
While every client journey is unique, sessions generally follow three key phases:
-
Starting Out – Establishing safety, building rapport, and clarifying goals
-
Deep Work - Understanding thought patterns, behaviours, and emotional responses
-
Moving Forward –Applying strategies, building resilience, and creating meaningful change
It’s completely normal to feel uncertain at first. You don’t need to have all the answers — just the willingness to begin.
