CLIENT INFORMATION
The important
FIRST STEP
Seeking help is often the biggest step to wellness. This can be an intimidating process, however Tom will help you feel comfortable in sharing your life challenges. Tom is personable, loves meeting new people, and is understanding and non-judgemental in his approach.
Research shows that a favourable therapist/client relationship is necessary in helping you reach your wellness goals. Tom will talk openly with you about this, and will even assist you in securing another therapist if the client/therapist relationship is not a fit.
At your first session Tom will ask you to complete some paperwork followed by a conversation with him for 50-60 minutes. You can talk about what your expectations are, and determine if he is a good fit for you. He will ask you about your struggles, your goals, and what you need in a therapist.
Taking the first step to overcome your inner struggles begins with booking an appointment. Contact Tom by phone or email today to book an appointment.

​
How long are the sessions and how many sessions will I need?
Sessions are 50 minutes. The number of sessions depends on your situation. Tom will give you an idea about number of sessions after the first intake session. Therapy is most beneficial for those who attend weekly or every other week. However, if financial reasons prevent you from weekly sessions, then monthly sessions are a possibility.
What is family counselling?
Family counseling provides an opportunity for family members to bring healing to relationships. New ways to communicate are learned in a safe and therapeutic setting. The focus for this type of counselling is to help each member of the family understand the other family members’ perspectives. This helps each family member to relate to others in a healthy way.
