Frequently Asked Questions

When you arrive at our practice you will be welcomed by our friendly business support staff (you can read about the team on the ‘Our Team’ page); they will settle you in reception with a hot drink or water while you complete some initial paperwork, just like when you see a new Doctor or other health professional. Your Psychologist at Discover Wellbeing will come to meet you and you’ll go together to one of our private counselling spaces.

In your sessions there may be aspects that you find difficult or confronting, or even a bit awkward. Your Psychologist may challenge inconsistencies between who you are and who you want to be or sit with you during emotional discomfort. You may experience a range of emotions. Our role is to work with you unconditionally and without judgment to support who you are as a person. Everyone has their own challenges; it is not our role to criticise or discount your experiences or reactions. We believe that everyone deserves to lead a happy and satisfying life and want to help you identify ways to get to that better psychological place.

Any form of therapy or counselling can be challenging, but that’s because making a change is always harder than staying at the same spot. There is a common myth out there that only the weak seek mental health support, but we think it actually takes courage to recognise that you could use some help and to seek out support.

Reach out when you are ready, and help is just around the corner.
