Frequently Asked Questions


CAN I BRING MY BABY OR CHILD WITH ME?

Counselling with me is an opportunity to focus on yourself and your own needs. Therefore I would encourage you to leave children with someone you trust. However if this is not possible, non-mobile babies are welcome to attend with you. You are welcome to feed them, change them and take care of their needs during the session if necessary.
