What to expect on your first visit
At your first appointment you will have time to talk with Nicole, get to know her and allow her to get to know you. Nicole will work with you to set goals for counselling or life coaching. She will also discuss the best therapeutic framework for your situation to ensure you feel comfortable with the direction of your process. If at the end of the appointment you decide you would like to proceed, Nicole will provide written information about the counselling or coaching relationship and ask for you to sign to indicate your agreement to working together under those terms and conditions. Your payment for future sessions will be ascertained using your income bracket and a sliding scale. You will also be asked to fill out a questionnaire of general information for Nicole’s background understanding and record keeping.
