What to Expect:

 

An initial email or brief telephone call to discuss whether psychological therapy may be suitable and of benefit to you. This is free of charge. 

 

The first consultation appointment will be a discussion that will include an assessment of the current difficulties, key life events and a history of the problem (when it started etc). By the end of the first appointment it is hoped that there is enough of a shared understanding to inform the therapy approach and number of sessions along with a tentative action plan. A therapeutic contract and completion of some standardised therapeutic questionnaires are taken around this time.  It may be that this initial consultation is enough for someone to have a better understanding of their difficulty and this is sufficient for them at the current time. There is no obligation to proceed with therapy if you have this first initial consultation appointment. 

​

Sessions are 50 minutes. It is expected that sessions are weekly for the duration of the therapy. 

 

Friends or family attending individual therapy sessions is not allowed.

​

The importance of someone being seen as quickly as possible when they are in distress and seeking help is appreciated therefore an initial appointment is attempted as soon as possible from initial contact.
