Session lengths vary depending on the type of service you require. Typical sessions are around 55 min, unless it is your first time with us, which may take a little bit longer. 

In your first therapy session, you can expect to discuss your background, current symptoms, goals, and develop a treatment plan with your therapist. It's an opportunity to get to know your therapist and begin the process of working together to address your concerns and achieve your goals.  

 It's important to find a mode of therapy that works best for your needs. Telehealth sessions offer the convenience of attending therapy from the comfort of your own home or a location that has internet access. While there may be some differences in technology and nonverbal cues, Telehealth sessions are just as effective and can be more accessible for some people.

The boab tree's ability to adapt to its environment is a powerful symbol of adaptability and transformation. Boab trees and the Kimberley region, one of the areas where they are found, hold a very special place in Peta's heart. She spent many years living, working, and raising a family in the north-west of Western Australia. Peta also has a love of Africa, where the same species of boab tree is found. In African art, the boab tree often serves as a metaphor for the resilience of individuals and communities in the face of changing circumstances.
