Frequently Asked Questions
Can counselling really help me?
Counselling is a great outlet for anyone who wants to make improvements in their life. Psychologists can help clients deal with deep issues and offer beneficial coping strategies to help them achieve a better quality of life. There are always things we can learn about ourselves and with this knowledge we can then transform into the best version of who we are. Our goal at Peace by Piece psychology is to do exactly that- to help you resolve your issues so that you can live the life that you deserve.

what should I expect in my first session?
Your therapist will initially chat with you about the reasons that brought you into treatment. We will ask general questions about you, your life, and goals for treatment. These questions are asked so that we can gain a better understanding of who you are, your circumstances, and the best way to help you. We treat each client as an individual and really do try and develop a thouough understanding of who our client is, so that a unique and effective treatment plan can be formulated for them.
