How to arrange a session
When you get in touch, I’ll arrange an initial, free 20-minute chat to explore what brings you to therapy and how I may be able to help.
At this stage, I’ll take some brief details and complete an initial assessment form. This helps us establish what you’re hoping to achieve from therapy.
Once we agree to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session and I’ll confirm this by email or text.
I’ll also send you some paperwork by email for you to look over. This gives you a chance to read it before we discuss it in your first session.
Sessions last 1 hour and take place in a safe, confidential setting.
What happens in the first session?
When you come for your first session, I’ll begin by welcoming you and taking some time to get to know what’s brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve.
We’ll go over how I work, including confidentiality, session length, and any practical details, so you know what to expect.
The first session is often more about understanding your story and what you’d like from counselling, rather than going more deeply into an issue straight away.
I may ask some questions to help me get a clearer picture of your needs and how I can best support you. It’s also a chance for you to see how you feel about working with me and to ask any questions you might have. Together, we’ll decide whether continuing feels right for you and, if so, arrange our next session or series of sessions.
