Counselling is based upon drawing inner wisdom from within; working with you to make decisions, listen to your story, and walk beside you. The most important part of therapy is feeling like there is a fit between you and the therapist. You should feel that you can open up and talk about anything you need to.

- Kristal will send you a client details form and a confidentiality form prior to your first session so you have time to read through this information. You will go over this information in your first session.
- If you are having an online appointment, please ensure you have privacy, and a safe space to have your appointment. It is important that you turn your phone off, and that you have no distractions. Using headphones can be helpful.
