Let's be real – deciding to see a counsellor isn't always easy, especially when you're dealing with big emotions and life changes. Things can feel exciting, confusing, or just plain overwhelming. It's a lot to handle.

Talking to a counsellor is different from talking to anyone else in your life. It's not like talking to a friend, parent, grandparent, teacher, or any authority figure. It's a space where you can be yourself, without judgment, and where someone is there just to listen and understand you. We'll work together to explore what's going on, at your pace, without any outside pressure.

Confidentiality Matters: You're in control. As a mature minor, what we talk about in our sessions is confidential, with a few legal exceptions (which we'll discuss together). The respect for your privacy is fundamental.

What Brings Young People to Counselling?

There are lots of reasons. Maybe someone suggested it (like a parent or teacher). Maybe you're dealing with tough stuff – relational issues, questions about your future, past challenging experiences, or feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you're concerned about your mental health and want to learn how to manage better your emotions and reactions, and understand yourself better. Whatever it is, we'll work together to understand what's happening and find tools and means to help you cope and thrive.

It's Okay to Not Click: Finding the right counsellor is important. If it doesn't feel like a good fit, that's okay! We can talk about it, and I'm happy to help you find someone who's a better match.
