Accepting new clients

A quiet room to think out loud.

Unhurried, confidential counselling for adults in Brookvale and online — whether you know what’s wrong, or only that something is.

Take one slow minute.

In for four, a gentle pause, out for six. Follow the circle.

Readywhen you are
Nora HaleMA, Registered Clinical Counsellor

You don’t need the right words.

I’m Nora. For twelve years I’ve sat with people through the ordinary and the overwhelming. No scripts, no diagnosis — just steady, realistic change at your pace.

  • Person-centred
  • Emotion-focused
  • CBT-informed
  • Trauma-aware

What people often bring

“I just don’t feel like myself” is a perfectly good place to start.

  • 01

    Anxiety & worry

    When your mind won’t stop running ahead.

  • 02

    Low mood

    Flatness, or losing interest in what used to matter.

  • 03

    Grief & loss

    Bereavement, and the quieter losses too.

  • 04

    Life transitions

    Parenthood, separation, retirement, starting over.

“The first time in years I didn’t feel rushed to get to the point.”

Questions

Is what I say confidential?

Yes, with a few legal exceptions around serious risk. We’ll go through them in our first session.

How many sessions will I need?

Some people come for six or eight; others stay longer. We review it together every few weeks.

What if we’re not a good fit?

That’s completely okay. I’ll gladly suggest colleagues who might be.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes — about half my clients meet online over secure video.

Take the first step, gently.

Share as much or as little as you like. I read every message myself and reply within two working days.
