What to Expect When Starting Your Therapeutic Journey With Me
I understand that even the idea of reaching out for help might cause discomfort or fear. Why don't we start by having a free non-obligation chat first? I will welcome you with warmth, an open mind and without judgment.
Upon your first enquiry, we will arrange a free 20-minute telephone call, to gain an idea of why you are looking to begin your therapeutic journey. You might even feel that you simply cannot put into words why you want therapy but that is okay. This can also be the time to bring up any needs you might have or even just to get to know each other.
Our first therapeutic session will be a clinical assessment, which will give us both a chance to explore your needs and goals in depth, and whether working together feels like a good fit. Clinical assessment also includes risk assessment and the fee is £50. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and find out whether my approach to counselling meets your needs.
Therapeutic sessions are usually held weekly, on the same day and at the same time, with no set limit on the number of sessions, unless referred.
Throughout the therapeutic process, I provide regular reviews, usually every six weeks, to reflect on our therapeutic journey. Each session lasts 50 minutes, and the fee is £50 per session for face-to-face, online and telephone appointments.
