Discovery Meeting

This meeting is a paid hour discussion, not a therapy session. The fee is $150.

A discovery meeting is an introductory consultation designed to help you understand how couples counselling works and whether it feels like the right next step. It is a full hour introductory therapy session and does not require both partners to attend, although meeting together in person is strongly encouraged when possible. When needed, a remote session can also be arranged. The purpose of the discovery meeting is to work collaboratively with one or both partners to explore what is bringing you to counselling, discuss the challenges that may be holding the couple back from starting therapy, and clarify whether couples counselling can be helpful at this stage. During the meeting, you’ll review potential goals, how therapy typically works, expectations and terms of the process, and practical frameworks for how to approach the relationship at home while in counselling.

Discovery meetings can be booked individually or as a couple to explore how couples counselling may support you moving forward.

Taking the first step toward couples counselling doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. A discovery meeting offers a calm, private space to understand how the process works – without pressure or commitment. Whether you attend alone or together, this guided conversation helps clarify your challenges, explore realistic goals, and determine whether counselling could be beneficial for you. Many couples find this step reduces uncertainty and makes therapy feel more approachable. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or hesitant, a discovery meeting can provide clarity, direction, and reassurance. It’s a thoughtful way to explore support and decide, at your own pace, what feels right moving forward.
