Subtle Movement Can Bring Meaningful Change
Kate Newby Counselling

Yes, online counselling is just as effective as in-person sessions. It provides the same level of care and guidance while offering the convenience of accessing support from your home or wherever you feel comfortable.

In a supportive and collaborative environment, time is taken to explore your concerns, goals, and expectations for therapy, allowing you and Kate to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. As part of this process, you will receive a consent form outlining important information, including your rights, confidentiality policies, benefits of counselling, and payment procedures. The first session is designed to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and empowered as you and Kate begin working together.

Your privacy is deeply respected, and everything you share in counselling remains confidential. However, there are rare exceptions where confidentiality is broken due to legal or ethical obligations. Exceptions to confidentiality are discussed during our first session to ensure you feel informed and supported.

Each counselling session is 50 minutes

The number of sessions depends on your unique needs, goals, and the challenges you are facing. Some clients find short-term, solution-focused therapy (fewer than six sessions) helpful for addressing specific concerns. In contrast, others benefit from longer-term support for more complex or deep-rooted issues. Therapy is a collaborative process, together you and Kate will determine the approach that best supports your wellness and growth. Whether you seek brief guidance or ongoing support, Kate is here to help you navigate your journey at a pace that is right for you
