How do I make a counselling appointment?

You can make an appointment with a therapist by using the enquiry buttons above, calling our office on 1300 735 030 or emailing us at info@lifesupports.com.au. You can submit a form on this page via the 'send email' button and we’ll get back to you with more information.

What will happen in the first counselling session?

In your first intake session, your therapist will be looking forward to meeting you and getting to know who you are and what you want out of your life. Administratively, the therapist will also go through any forms or information they need, and will explain their professional duties around things like confidentiality and consent. Your therapist will likely structure out most of the first session getting acquainted with you, your goals and things like family background, mental health history and general environment. From there, they’ll probably work with you to create clear goals around what you’ll work on together in the sessions, to keep therapy focused on the right things for you.
