FAQs

Below are some FAQs, but feel free to contact us if you have a more specific enquiry.

  • Yes, absolutely.

    We want to prioritise what makes you feel most comfortable.

    Where possible, please inform us if a support person will be attending prior to your appointment.

  • You can work towards your mental health goals with or without a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.

    Please note: Mental Health Care Plans will not cover support cost with Verge as counselling sessions are fee-for-service.

  • There are many different pathways to get from where you are to where you want to be in life. In therapy, these ‘paths’ can be understood as the various kinds of approaches used, such as:

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

    • Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

    • Person Centered Therapy (PCT)

    • Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

    • Gottman Couples Therapy (GMCT)

    • Narrative Therapy (NT)

    Some people prefer a ‘pure’ approach to therapy, while others appreciate the integration of several approaches.

    Ultimately however, no two people receive the exact same kind of therapy.

    This is because each therapeutic relationship is unique and is the most potent factor that contributes to healthy change! At Verge, we value this relationship above all else and seek to cultivate a safe, restorative environment for each person.

  • Yes, we offer individual, couples, and family therapy to clients of all backgrounds.

    Please indicate on the appointment request form who will be attending the session.
