First Session
You might have never contacted a therapist before or you might already have experiences of previous counselling in a variety of settings. Whatever is your experience, making a first contact with a therapist can be hard and I respect the courage it takes to make this first step.
A good therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client is crucial for the successful outcome of therapy. For that reason the first meeting will be in a reduced fee (£35) and aims to explore if you feel comfortable working together, as well as if I feel I can support you in achieving your goal.
The first meeting is an assessment session where we:
Talk about the issues that brought you to therapy
Discuss your expectations and agree your goals from therapy
Talk bout how we can work together
Address any concerns or questions you have
