How Do I Change Counsellors?

Created by Rosette Lontok, Modified on Tue, 16 Aug, 2022 at 10:13 AM by Rosette Lontok

We understand if you are not satisfied with your counsellor. If you would like to change counsellors, please reach out to our friendly Client Services Team by opening a Support Ticket or reaching out to us on Live Chat.

Sometimes clients need to change counsellors for the following reasons:

I don't think this counsellor can provide the type of counselling I am looking for.
I've tried a few sessions and I'm still not feeling a good connection with my counsellor.
I need to address a different topic area and my counsellor is suggesting I try a counsellor who is specialized in this new area.

Trust takes time to build

We understand that a good trust-based foundation is important for you to experience progress and healing. Sometimes this foundation takes time to build and we recommend patiently trying first and communicating your needs before changing quickly.
