Hello! I hope that you have been able to get a sense of me and what I offer from my website.

I know it can be challenging to take the first step in asking for help. I invite you to call me if you would like to ask any questions, and I look forward to speaking with you to see if my services would be helpful for you.

To schedule a complimentary 20 minute counselling consultation by phone, or for more information about my counselling or coaching practice, please call me at
1 888 504 4111 or email tamara@inessencecounselling.com.

It is likely that I may be with a client or otherwise unavailable when you first call, so please be prepared to leave a message on my confidential voice-mail. My intention is to return calls the same day, or by the next business day.

When we first speak, we can either have the 20 minute consultation at that time if it’s convenient, or schedule a more appropriate time for the call.

During the 20 minute consultation call,

• I’ll want to hear a brief summary about you and the current situation or circumstances that prompted you to call
  
• We’ll talk about the counselling work we could do together
  
• I’ll answer whatever questions you have about me
  

If you decide you would like to move forward, we’ll make an initial telephone counselling or in-person appointment at a mutually agreeable time. We’ll also discuss my fees and I’ll give you directions to the appointment if you live in or near Victoria, BC and would like to see me in person.

And, if I don’t seem to be the right counsellor for you or your situation, I will be happy to help you find someone who might be.

You will find information about my fees here.
