OUR VALUES
At Validity, we provide professional, caring counselling service driven by the goals of the client. We value and honour each individual's right to make their own choices and determine their own path.
​We are committed to ensuring that your experience with Validity is positive and that you get the results you want. Our services are non-judgmental and confidential, creating a safe place for you to explore hurts and disappointments, feeling supported as you work towards change.
Our focus is on fostering self-compassion, self-acceptance, and personal growth in our clients through insight and skills development.
As a private counselling agency, our services are not dependent on or limited by external funding. Therefore, we do not have waitlists. If you need to see someone right away, we can find a counsellor to accommodate you that same week, provided some scheduling flexibility on your part.
​
Our goal is to meet your needs in a timely manner, in a non-judgmental environment, with respect for your personal values and beliefs.
