Our goal is to equip you with practical, science-based tools that translate into lasting clarity, resilience, and meaningful quality of life.
Services
Initial Intake Session (75 Min)
A comprehensive first session required for all new clients. This 75-minute assessment uses Health Psychology and Applied Behavioural Science to map out your behavioural patterns, chronic pain influences, stress load, and adjustment challenges. Together, we clarify your goals, identify behaviour drivers, and examine the factors affecting your self-efficacy.
Specialist Counselling Session (60 Min)
Your core working session for structured behavioural and emotional change. These 60-minute sessions focus on strengthening resilience, improving self-efficacy, enhancing emotional regulation, and supporting sustainable health behaviour routines.
A focused follow-up for existing clients who need rapid support. These 30-minute check-ins provide structured accountability and a framework for protocol refinement.
Habit Check-In Session (30-Min)
Our Core Commitments
Evidence-Based Protocols
Every session is guided by validated frameworks from Health Psychology and Applied Behavioural Science. We work with structured, measurable protocols rather than generic talk-based approaches, ensuring your progress is targeted, replicable, and grounded in empirical science.
Systemic Clarity
Your challenges are understood within their full behavioural ecosystem—mind, body, nervous system, routines, and environment. This whole-system approach allows us to identify root drivers, build resilient capacity, and reduce the risk of relapse.
Self-Efficacy Empowerment
Our goal is to transfer mastery to you. We equip you with precise, repeatable skills so you can independently regulate your behaviour, manage stress, and sustain wellbeing long after the sessions conclude.

FAQs
What exactly is Health & Behaviour Change Counselling?
Health & Behaviour Change Counselling is a structured, evidence-informed approach that helps you understand the psychological, behavioural, and lifestyle patterns affecting your wellbeing. The focus is on practical tools—habit design, behavioural protocols, emotional regulation, and values-based decision-making.
It is not psychotherapy or medical treatment; it is specialised behavioural counselling rooted in Health Psychology principles.
Who is this service suitable for?
This practice is ideal for individuals who want to:
• improve health habits or routines
• manage chronic pain or long-term health adjustments
• reduce stress, overwhelm, or burnout
• strengthen resilience and self-efficacy
• align behaviours with personal values
• understand and change persistent behavioural patterns
What does "Applied Science" mean in a counselling context?
How often should I book sessions?
It means we move beyond "talk therapy" into the application of proven scientific protocols. We utilize principles from Health Psychology and Behavioural Science to create structured interventions. This involves analyzing the link between your environment, your biology (such as the nervous system’s role in chronic pain), and your habits to develop a systematic plan for change.
Most clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build momentum. Chronic pain clients or high-burnout cases may benefit from a weekly rhythm. Once habits stabilise, the 30-minute Habit Check-In supports maintenance.
How is counselling at The Veritas Change different from coaching?
Counselling at The Veritas Change is a structured, evidence-based therapeutic service grounded in Health Psychology and Applied Behavioural Science. It is intended for individuals experiencing ongoing emotional distress, health-related challenges, burnout, or persistent behavioural patterns.
Unlike coaching, which is typically performance-focused and future-oriented, counselling allows space to work with underlying psychological, emotional, and physiological processes that may be maintaining current difficulties. All work is delivered within professional ethical standards and clinical boundaries.
What is the process for getting started?
All new clients start with the Initial Intake Session (75 Minutes). This mandatory first step is dedicated to a comprehensive assessment of your behavioural drivers. We conclude this session with a clear change hypothesis and your first structured protocol before proceeding to the Core Counselling Sessions.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your appointment may be charged the full session fee. This allows us to manage the schedule and availability effectively.
