FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Counselling for neurodivergent children is a collaborative process between your child and a Counsellor who uses evidence-based concepts and processes to help them change how they  think, feel, and behave. It is a process which will help them to know themselves in a better way. They become more aware of the patterns, values, root causes, hidden beliefs, feelings, or obstacles to change. The sessions provides a safe, confidential, supportive, non-judgemental, and inclusive environment for their exploration and inner growth. 

The number of sessions depends on them and what they want to do in relation to their personal growth at this time. Some clients come to address a specific issue, while some people come to engage in general, and want ongoing personal growth to effect impactful change. 

Weekly sessions are recommended at the beginning, clients often shift to bi-weekly after they feel they have made progress on the issues they first came for. When clients feel more resilient, many come for less frequent check-ins as needed.
