A manageable first step

Getting started with counselling

You can begin with an enquiry. Ask about the service, clinician, current availability and appointment arrangements before deciding whether to proceed.

  1. Tell us what you are looking for

    Share the main concerns, who the support is for and what you hope could change. You can also ask which service may be the best starting point.

  2. Discuss the clinician and arrangements

    Ask about relevant experience, professional designation, approach, fees and appointment format. Discuss consent, confidentiality and who would attend.

  3. Agree on the next step

    If counselling is appropriate and you choose to begin, discuss the focus with your clinician and how progress will be reviewed. The plan depends on your needs and the agreed approach.

Before you enquire

Common questions about counselling services

How do I know which type of counselling to choose?Start with the concern and who you want support for. Individual counselling focuses on your experience; couples counselling focuses on the relationship between partners; family counselling explores relationships between family members. For a child or teenager, ask about a clinician whose experience fits their age and needs. You can contact Qxplore if the concerns overlap or you are unsure.
Can I enquire before I have a diagnosis or referral?You can contact Qxplore to explain your concerns and ask about the next step. Confirm whether the particular service or funding arrangement requires a referral, authorisation or other information before booking.
Does relationship counselling mean we have to be married?You can enquire about relationship support whether you are married or at another stage of your partnership. See our couples and relationship counselling page for concerns you can bring, including communication, conflict, connection and shared responsibilities.
What is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?The terms can overlap in everyday use. What matters when choosing support is the clinician’s professional designation, experience and approach, along with the purpose of the service. Explain your concerns and ask what the proposed work would involve.
Are appointments in person or online?Contact Qxplore to confirm the current appointment options for the service and clinician you are considering. Ask about suitability, privacy and any practical requirements for the proposed format.
How much do sessions cost, and can benefits help?Ask about the fee, payment arrangements and clinician’s professional designation before booking. Check your benefits plan directly for provider eligibility, coverage limits and any referral requirements. For funded services, confirm authorisation and what is included.
Is counselling the same as a psychological assessment?They have different purposes. Counselling and psychotherapy focus on therapeutic support, while an assessment explores specific questions using an agreed assessment process. Explore our psychological assessment services or ask which service fits your questions.
