Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and some people in Rothesay may feel unsure before their first session — that’s completely normal. Your first appointment will be a conversation focused on gathering information to get to know you. Your counsellor will explore your service needs and your goals in counselling and will provide the opportunity to share in a safe and confidential environment.

There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Together, you’ll begin exploring coping strategies tailored to your needs and circumstances

With SAGE SmartMatch®, we help ensure the counsellor you meet is a good fit for your needs. Most people finish their first session feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about their path forward.
