My first session
After a free 15-20 minute phone consultation. I will set up a session online/face to face. The first session is a 50 minute assessment which is a general conversation to find out more about you and what you feel you need help with. This will give me an idea of how i may be able to assist you. It will also give you a chance to see if you feel comfortable with working with me as i understand finding the right therapist who you find comfortable with working with is important, there is no obligation to continue therapy if you do not feel like i am the right fit for you.
By the end of the session we can both come to a decision on how many sessions you'd like to start off with.
I will also discuss terms of a confidentiality contract I will present you which will outline things like holiday, payment, what happens if i were to fall ill etc ...
