The questions
are part of it.
There is no need to know the right terms. If something affects your decision to book, bring it to the first conversation.
Who is counselling for?
Wayne works with all people, including LGBTQI+ clients. Counselling is available for individuals, couples and families, including separated partners with a shared reason to talk, and throuples and alternative relationships. You can discuss who would attend before making an appointment.
What happens in the free consultation?
The free 15-minute consultation is an opportunity to briefly talk about what brings you here, ask practical questions and discuss a possible first appointment. You do not need a polished explanation. In Zanda Health, choose “Free Initial Consult”.
What might the first sessions look like?
You begin by talking about what is happening and what you would like to be different. Each partner is invited to an individual session before couple work can begin. These sessions are separate from the free 15-minute consultation. Wayne will discuss expectations, confidentiality and whether joint sessions are appropriate.
Where are in-person appointments available?
In-person appointments are available in Surry Hills and Petersham, Sydney. Contact Wayne to confirm the location and appointment arrangements before attending.
Is online counselling available?
Online counselling is available for individuals. If you are enquiring about online sessions from outside Sydney, or online work with a couple or family, contact Wayne to check the available arrangements before booking.
Do I need a referral?
You can contact Wayne directly to ask about counselling. If you have a referral, a Mental Health Treatment Plan or questions about funding, mention this when you get in touch so the applicable arrangements can be clarified before booking.
How is confidentiality explained?
Ask Wayne to explain the practice’s confidentiality arrangements and their limits before you begin. For relationship work, also discuss how information from individual and joint conversations is handled.
How do I confirm fees, session length and availability?
Ask Wayne to confirm the fee, session length and current availability for the service you are considering. Start with the free 15-minute consultation or email Wayne.
