Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a therapy session?
If you want to book a therapy session, please call or text Ebba on 0427 211 301 or email ebbajcounselling@outlook.com. Please note that you receive a free 15-minute chat to see if we are the right fit.
If my counselling session is face-to-face, where is it located?
Ebba J’s counselling room is in Wilson House on 221 Balcombe Rd, Beaumaris VIC 3193. You access the building via the grey gate.
If you choose the walk and talk service, we will decide on a location suitable for you. This alternative is warmly recommended due to the added physical health incorporated into the counselling service.
How long are the therapy sessions?
The Individual therapy sessions last about 50 minutes.
How many sessions are recommended?
The length is discussed at the initial session. It depends on your needs, but ten sessions are generally recommended. However, some only need five, whereas others choose a longer therapy process, such as twenty sessions or more. Ebba is flexible and adjusts the therapy to suit your needs. It is essential that you know that you, as the client, decide.
Frequency: Weekly sessions are recommended to start with. This will kick-start your healing journey. The more you reach your goals and practise new life skills, the more the sessions will likely phase out.
What can I expect in the first session?
The session is about you, so it is of utmost importance that you feel comfortable and know your rights. Therefore, you will review the counselling agreement form, and clarify any questions you might have.
You will also discuss what you would like to get out of the counselling and your goals. Counselling techniques will also be explored during the initial appointment. Traditionally, Ebba incorporates cognitive behaviour therapy and mindfulness techniques, narrative and existential therapy. However, if you have specific desires, she aims to meet those needs.
How much does a therapy session cost?
Individual therapy sessions of about 50 minutes are $100 AUD (or 700 sek). The fee applies to all counselling services, whether in person in the counselling room, walk and talk or video call.
Ebba J Counselling offers a discount if you book and pay for sessions in bulk. Please enquire for more details.

Payment is by bank transfer and is expected before each session.
If you need to cancel, please get in touch with Ebba J via email or text 48 hours before the scheduled appointment to avoid a cancellation fee.
