Self-Assessment
Is Counselling Right for You?
Take a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself.
This self-assessment can help you notice patterns in your anxiety, stress, emotional well-being, or life transitions, and explore whether online counselling could support you in finding calm, clarity, and meaningful connection.
Reflecting on your experiences is the first step toward relief, confidence, and lasting change.

Mostly Sometimes
You might notice patterns of stress, anxiety, or disconnection that influence daily life. Counselling can provide clarity, practical tools, and support to navigate emotions, relationships, and change with confidence.
Mostly No
