Testimonials

Thank you for your time and support. Spending time with my son on a regular basis is so important to me and you have played an important role in helping facilitate that outcome.

I wanted to let you know the good news and to express my appreciation for all your help during this process.

I also just want to say thank you, Conny. You are such a wonderful therapist and have helped us so much. I feel so much lighter and better after today’s session.

Thank you for your calming presence, Conny.

Thank you so much Conny for your work with us. It was such a pleasure working with you – you are by far the best experience we’ve had in couples’ therapy. I’m grateful you are out there helping and supporting so many people. You do amazing work.

I found the last ‘coaching’ session very constructive and helpful.

Are your counselling, coaching and psychotherapy sessions covered by Medicare or private health insurance?

Counselling, coaching and psychotherapy services are not yet covered by Medicare, however,
several private health insurance companies now offer rebates. Please speak to your insurance
provider.

What can I discuss in the 15-minute complimentary conversation?

This initial consult allows you to tell me a little bit about what is going on for you and ask questions about how I work and how I might be able to help you. This can give a sense of what
it will be like talking with me, and we will get a sense of whether we are a good fit for each
other. If either of us feels I might not be the right therapist for you, I can provide you with a
referral to another therapist or another resource, if that is what you would like.

What can I expect during a therapy session?

Counselling sessions at Conny Koenderink Counselling are guided by you and your needs. This is your time and space to receive all the attention, feel heard and understood, and gain support for the issues that are important for you.
Prior to our first session, I will send you my counselling agreement and privacy policy, which informs you about your rights and responsibilities as my client. You can send the signed form back to me prior to our session or bring it with you on the day of our first appointment.
Initial sessions
The beginning of our work together at Conny Koenderink Counselling is about creating a safe and trusting relationship, a supportive foundation for your journey. These first meetings are crucial for exploring your story, understanding your present challenges, clarifying your needs, values and believes and your personal aspirations.
Following sessions
In following sessions, we will collaborate to explore your concerns more deeply, helping us understand what to focus on and address any other topics that might be important to you. Together, we will build awareness, identify unhelpful patterns, and work towards solutions for your challenges. We will take time to build a sound level of trust, so that you feel safe enough to address difficult topics and experiences when you are ready.
