I am available for online bookings! 
Nicolette Ward, BA (Psychology), Diploma of Holistic Counselling, Gottman Couples Therapist, and Mental Health First Aider.

Use the Make a Booking button to select your session type, date, and time that suits you. Prices are displayed in the booking application for your convenience. Please note that our annual price increase coincides with our change over to becoming GST registered.

All first time bookings via the booking system will automatically request payment. It is policy that a 'no show' will forfeit their full fee as time has been allocated in the calendar, and all resources managed to ensure the session can go ahead.  While we are always happy to reschedule appointments, please always always give 24 hours notice and alternative booking details for rescheduling purposes or a partial fee of 50% will be charged.

Individual Therapy

NEW First Time Clients

Your first session is 1.5 hours long.  
During this introductory session, we meet and greet online, explore the presenting issue, and perhaps do a geneogram, a timeline and family history to locate the roots of the presenting issues(s). Still unsure? Check out this infographic to give you a better idea of how it all works.
​

CONTINUING Clients

Once your first session has been completed, and our initial assessments done, we then move into a regular pattern of sessions determined by your budget and schedule.  You get to determine what works best for you, however, it is strongly recommended that a weekly consult is going to yield best results for your money spent.

Couples Therapy

NEW First Time Clients

Your first couples online session is 1.5 hours in duration.
During this introductory session, we meet and greet, explore the presenting issue(s), and conduct the Gottman Assessment through an interview process that surfaces all the information required. I discuss the approach with you, and explain how it all works. You will be issued with access to an online questionnaire for both of you to complete as part of the assessment phase of your couples counselling. 
​

CONTINUING Clients

The next stage in the Gottman Method is to book an individual session, for each partner, after completion of the questionnaire. In the individual sessions, you get to talk without your partner present, even though any information shared will be visible and transparent to your partner in future sessions. This is followed up with a feedback session where we prioritise your treatment plan together and work out next steps together. Then the real work can begin.
