Frequently Asked Questions
Things we get asked a lot
Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences with a trained professional. It can help you navigate challenges, gain new perspectives, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward healing, growth and greater wholeness.
Yes. I support teenage girls as well as adult women.
Every young person is different, and consent and parent involvement will depend on factors such as age, maturity and individual circumstances. Before counselling begins, I’ll discuss consent, confidentiality, and any parent involvement so everyone understands what to expect.
Counselling works best when young people feel safe to talk openly. While sessions are generally confidential, there are some situations where information may need to be shared to protect someone’s safety or where required by law. These limits will always be explained clearly at the outset.
Friends can provide valuable support, but counselling offers a dedicated space focused entirely on you. A counsellor brings professional training, therapeutic skills, and evidence-informed approaches to help you explore challenges in a supportive and purposeful way.
You can bring whatever is important to you. Common topics include:
Anxiety and stress
Burnout and overwhelm
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Relationships
Identity and self-worth
Confidence and personal growth
Purpose and direction
Faith and spirituality (if desired)
Not at all.
Many people seek counselling because they want support, clarity, personal growth, or a space to process life's challenges before they become overwhelming.
Counselling isn't only about addressing what's wrong. It can also be a space to understand yourself more deeply, grow and consider what it means to flourish.
Crowned Care is faith-informed and grounded in Christian values of compassion, dignity, hope and restoration.
Faith can be incorporated into sessions if desired, but clients are always free to determine the role faith plays in their counselling experience.
No.
Women and girls from all backgrounds, beliefs and life experiences are welcome.
The first session is an opportunity to share your story, discuss what has brought you to counselling, and explore what you hope to gain from support. There is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable sharing.
Every person's journey is different.
Some will benefit from a few sessions focused on a specific issue, while others prefer ongoing support over a longer period. We'll regularly check in about how counselling is going and what feels right for your circumstances and goals.
Confidentiality is a core part of counselling. Information shared during sessions will remain private except where disclosure is required by law or where there are serious concerns about safety.
Full details will be discussed before counselling begins.

Compassionate pricing: Limited reduced-fee appointments are available for those experiencing financial difficulty. Please feel welcome to ask about compassionate pricing.
Compassionate pricing provides a limited number of reduced-fee counselling appointments for people experiencing financial difficulty. I believe access to supportive counselling matters, while also recognising the importance of keeping Crowned Care sustainable. If cost is a barrier, you're welcome to ask about available options.
A complimentary discovery call can be a great place to start.
It's an opportunity to ask questions, talk briefly about what you're looking for, and see whether Crowned Care feels like the right fit for you. There's no pressure to committ to counselling after the call.
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from who they are. Together, we can explore what is happening, identify what matters most, and take small, meaningful steps toward healing, hope and renewed purpose.
Still not sure? I’d love to hear from you.
Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to explore your options, you’re welcome to reach out.
