My first session

I will speak on the phone with you prior to booking your first appointment. I can ask or answer any questions at that point. This assessment call is free of charge.

At the first appointment I will fill out an assessment form with you, where I take personal details and explain my confidentiality commitments. You can talk in more detail about what you would like to achieve via counselling with me, and we can make a start. At the end of this session I will ask you if you would like to continue with me.

The therapeutic relationship is extremely important and you need to feel comfortable to share your experiences, so I do encourage your autonomy at all times.
