You don't need to know what to say.

A short email exchange, a consent form, nothing else. I'll suggest a free fifteen-minute call if you'd like one.

2168 West 4th Avenue, second floor — the buzzer says Harbour. There's a chair in the hall and a jug of water. Or a video link, five minutes before.

I'll ask what brings you here. It's fine to say “I don't know.” We'll talk about what you'd like to be different, and I'll tell you honestly whether I think I can help.

You decide whether to come back. No pressure, no package, no follow-up email asking why.

Say so. I'll suggest someone — I know a lot of good counsellors in this city.
