Reach Out
Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and you do not need to have the right words ready before you make contact. Whether you are reaching out for yourself, your teenager or your child, you are welcome to send a message with a little about what you are looking for. Nicole Fouché will respond personally to arrange a confidential first online appointment for counselling or psychotherapy in Pretoria. All sessions are held online, by video.
If you are unsure whether therapy is the right fit, that is perfectly fine. An initial conversation is a no-pressure way to ask questions and decide what feels right for you. You can use the details below to get in touch.
What Happens After You Reach Out
Once you send a message, Nicole will reply to you personally rather than passing you to an answering service. From there, the two of you can find a suitable time for a first appointment and sort out any practical questions, such as how online sessions work and what you will need.
The first session is mostly about getting to know one another. You will have space to explain what brought you, and there is no expectation that you share more than you feel ready to. By the end of that conversation, you will have a clearer sense of what working together might involve, and you can decide how you would like to continue. There is no obligation to commit to anything before you feel ready.
If you have practical questions before booking, such as session times, fees or how appointments are arranged, you are welcome to ask them when you make contact. There is no need to have everything worked out in advance. The aim of that first exchange is simply to help you feel comfortable enough to take the next step.
