Questions your customers ask
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is protected, with limited legal exceptions if someone is at risk, which we explain in the first session.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. We review progress together and decide what helps.
What is the difference between a counsellor and a psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are doctors who can prescribe medicines. Counsellors provide talk-based support. Sometimes both work together.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, secure online sessions are available.
Do you see students?
Yes, with parental consent for minors where required.
What if I am in crisis?
Please contact a crisis helpline such as Tele-MANAS (14416) or go to the nearest hospital emergency.
