How it works
Starting therapy can feel like a big, uncertain step — especially if this is your first time, or you're not sure what to expect. Here's exactly how the process works, from your first enquiry through to ongoing sessions.
- 1
Send an enquiry
Fill out the short form on the Contact page. It only asks for the basics — you're welcome to share a little about what's prompting you to reach out, but only if and when you're comfortable.
- 2
A free 15-minute phone call
Sage will get in touch to arrange a short, no-obligation phone call. It's a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for how she works, and for both of you to check whether it seems like a good fit.

First sessions & getting started
If you decide to go ahead, you'll arrange your first online session. Early sessions are about getting to know each other and understanding what's brought you to therapy, at whatever pace feels comfortable.
- 4
Ongoing therapy
From there, sessions continue on an ongoing, regular basis online — wherever you are in Australia — for as long as feels useful to you.
About telehealth
All sessions are held online by secure video call, so you can join from home, or wherever feels private and comfortable. Read more on the telehealth page about what you'll need and how it works.
Common questions about getting started
What if I don't know how to explain what's wrong?
That's completely okay — you don't need the right words before you reach out. The enquiry form and the free call are simply a starting point; there's no need to have things figured out in advance.
Is the 15-minute call a therapy session?
No. It's a short, informal phone call to say hello, answer any questions, and check the fit feels right for both of you before booking a first session.
What happens if it turns out not to be the right fit?
That's a normal, valid outcome. If it doesn't feel right, Sage will let you know honestly and, where possible, point you toward other options.
