How it works
What to expect at ERC
STEP ONE
Inquiry & Intake form
At Emotion Revival Counselling, we require each client to complete an Initial Booking Form as part of our initial contact process. You will then be contacted and an Intake Form will be sent. This Intake Form includes various questions aimed at gaining insight into your struggles and understanding why you are seeking help. Your responses enable us to tailor our approach to best support you on your journey towards emotional wellbeing. Rest assured that all information provided is treated with the utmost confidentiality and sensitivity, fostering a safe and trusting therapeutic environment for your healing and growth. Click here to get started.
STEP TWO
Getting back to you
Once your booking form has been received, Nicole will carefully review your responses to understand your current situation better. This step allows Nicole to tailor her approach to best assist you. Please note that there are no wrong answers on the booking request form – it simply guides us in providing the support you need. Nicole will reach out to you either by phone or email to finalise the booking process and coordinate your first appointment at a mutually convenient time. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we are here to support you on your journey.
STEP THREE
Client intake
After completing the booking form, and Nicole being in contact to set up a session time, you will be provided with a link to the client intake form to fill out before your initial session with Nicole. This crucial step ensures that we have a comprehensive understanding of your needs and preferences. Rest assured that any personal information disclosed on the form will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
Following your initial session, you will have the flexibility to schedule additional appointments with Nicole. Whether you prefer virtual sessions or in-person meetings, Nicole will discuss these options with you before your first appointment to cater to your preferences and comfort level. Currently in-person sessions are offered in Portarlington only. (If you would prefer in home sessions, please discuss this with Nicole during the initial call.)
At Emotion Revival Counselling, our priority is to provide you with a supportive and personalized therapy experience, starting from the moment you fill out your client intake form to each subsequent session with Nicole.
How many sessions do I need?
We understand that the therapeutic journey varies for each individual. The number of sessions required is highly dependent on your unique circumstances. While some individuals experience significant changes in just a few sessions, others may require more time. The duration of individual therapy is tailored to your specific needs, resources, level of motivation, and therapy goals. Trust the process, and together, we will work towards your emotional wellbeing.
Are my sessions confidential?
We prioritise the confidentiality of our clients' shared information. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and we strictly adhere to this principle. Rest assured that everything discussed during sessions remains confidential. The only circumstance under which we would legally disclose any information is if you or any other individuals are in immediate danger of harming themselves or others. Your trust is valued, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all our patients.
What is the difference between virtual and in-person?
Virtual provides the convenience of receiving therapy from the comfort of your own space, eliminating the need to travel to a physical location. It allows for flexibility in scheduling appointments and can be particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility or living in remote areas.
In-person counselling offers face-to-face interaction, which some individuals find more personal and conducive to building a strong therapeutic relationship. The physical presence of a counsellor in traditional sessions can provide a sense of comfort and connection that may differ from virtual sessions.
Seeking help can be hard, just remember we are judgement free and you are not alone.
