What We Do
Mind Strides provides private one-on-one sessions using a type of therapy called psychotherapy, where a client interacts with a counsellor who uses methods from psychological science to modify thoughts, feelings and behaviors, improve relationships and enhance mental health.Â
Most people are not sure what to expect, so here are the steps.
Â
Step 1: Book a free 15 minute connection callÂ
Step 2: Book an Initial ConsultationÂ
​
Â
Step 3: Attend Regular SessionsÂ
Â
Step 4: Check progress towards goals.Â
To see if Mind Strides is right for you. If not, we may be able to point you in the right direction so it is worth a try.
In which we have a 60 minute conversation to better understand your needs and concerns, and to develop a plan to help.
​
Â
As often as needed. Sessions are usually 60 minutes. The frequency is either weekly, fortnightly or monthly based on urgency.
Â
This happens during sessions. Some people can achieve what they want in a single session and walk away happy, others meet one goal then want to go straight to the next one. If there is no improvement we work together to find a new way to approach the problem.
Collaborative
A counsellor is an expert in mental health, but you are the expert in your own life. We work together to manage problems and achieve goals.
