Frequently Asked Questions
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s normal to have questions. Here are some of the most common questions people ask before beginning sessions with Stephen Zeelie.
What does a counselling psychologist do?
A counselling psychologist helps people work through personal, emotional, or relationship problems. They give you a safe space to talk and guide you toward healthier ways of coping.
Who can benefit from therapy?
Therapy is for anyone. Adults, children, couples, and families can all benefit when facing stress, anxiety, sadness, relationship struggles, or life changes.
How do I know if I need therapy?
If your problems feel too heavy, or if stress and worry affect your daily life, therapy can help. You don’t need to wait until things get worse – getting support early can make a difference.
Is therapy private?
Yes. What you share in therapy stays private. A psychologist will only break confidentiality if the law requires it, such as in cases of safety concerns.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on your needs. Some people feel better after a few sessions, while others need longer. You and your psychologist will decide what works best for you.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is for understanding your situation. The psychologist will ask about your concerns, your goals, and your background. You can also ask questions about how therapy works.
Do you work with children?
Yes. Therapy can help children with school stress, family changes, emotions, or behaviour issues. Sessions are adjusted to their age so they feel comfortable.
Can couples or families come for therapy together?
Yes. Couples and family therapy can improve communication, solve problems, and strengthen relationships in a supportive space.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book by contacting Stephen Zeelie directly through the website or by phone. Sessions are usually available during office hours.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
