Prior to our initial session, I will carry out an assessment; this is usually performed over the telephone and is free of charge.   This is designed to gain a better understanding of your motivations in seeking therapy, as well as your hopes and goals for our work together.  It is also a good opportunity to ask me any questions which you may have about me, how I practice and what our sessions will typically entail.  

​

Following on from the assessment; should you wish to continue your therapeutic journey, we can schedule regular sessions at times which are suitable to you.  Our first session presents a great opportunity for us to establish rapport and see how it feels working together.  In my experience, a positive client / therapist relationship is a powerful tool in achieving positive outcomes.
