What qualifications and training do your counsellors have?

Our relationship counsellors have extensive experience and training and are registered with the peak industry organisation PACFA – The Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia - that regulates the counselling and psychotherapy field.

You can feel assured that all our practitioners meet the most stringent requirements for experience, training and registration to ensure you receive the best therapy treatment available.

What happens in the first therapy appointment?

When you book your first appointment, we treat this as a comprehensive assessment session. Your counsellor will ask you about your current situation, issues or difficulty that has lead you to counselling. This first session is also an opportunity for you to get a feel for your counsellor’s approach to make sure you are a good fit for working together.

At the end of the first session your counsellor will share their assessment and feedback and make recommendations for the therapeutic work. Together you will decide what is the best approach in terms of frequency of sessions. Your counsellor will also clarify your goals and the results you’re wanting from the counselling to make sure you’re on the same page.

How many sessions will I need?

This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on what the issue is, how long the issue has been ongoing, and what kind of change you’re wanting.

On average, our clients tend to stay for 6-10 sessions, but it’s also common some clients who are working on long-standing issues will work with us for significantly longer periods because they see the value in doing long-term therapy work. Occasionally some clients only require a small number of sessions because they want to resolve a very specific issue that doesn't require longer work.

It’s important to know the best results from counselling are achieved when appointments are scheduled and attended on a regular basis.

Where is your Sydney office located?

Our Sydney office is in the CBD at The William Bland Centre, 805/229 Macquarie St Sydney NSW 2000.

When you enter, take the lift to level 8 and go to suite 805. Look for the glass frosted door that says "Dr Rob King & Associates" on the door. We share rooms with Dr King, so you're in the right place when you see this door.

You are welcome to take a seat in our office waiting room until your appointment time.

There is a nice café on Macquarie street outside our building called “Legal Grounds” if you happen to arrive early. It’s open each weekday until about 4pm.

How do I travel by train?

We are a 5-minute walk from St James train station. If you are coming from Wynyard or Town Hall, the walk is closer to 10-15 minutes.

Where can I park?

The most cost-effective parking available is in the Domain Car Park or the Riley St Car Park, which are each a 10 minute walk away.

What hours do you see clients in your Sydney CBD counselling office?

We offer appointments in our Sydney CBD office during the following times:

Tuesday 1:00PM - 7:00PM
Wednesday 1:00PM - 7:00PM

The last appointment of the day is 6:00pm.

We offer after hours appointments because we know how difficult it can be for some people to attend appointments during working hours. There is no additional fee for after hours appointments, but they are our most in-demand appointments and there is often a wait list for those times.
