You are entering into a counselling relationship that has the potential to transform your life. Your problems will be identified and professionally treated. This is not a place for “quick fixes.” Change takes time, commitment and hard work. Clients who are serious about change will commit to several months of therapy based on their individual needs. Counselling is not always easy. You will be supported and understood but expect to be challenged as well. Regarding spirituality, Robert and Roxanne view people from a Christian perspective. They believe that everything and everyone is created by God. On the basis of this belief, Robert and Roxanne think all people should be treated with dignity, respect and value regardless of their belief system or lifestyle choices. They will not force their values upon you. However, their values may appear in their counselling styles.
Counselling Fees are $110.00 including GST for individual sessions, $150 including GST when both Robert and Roxanne are in session.
