Your first step is to telephone me or e-mail me to set up an initial session.
This first session has a few objectives :
- it will provide a chance to talk generally about the relevant issues, plus present a general description of
personal background with regard to family, relationships, work and any significant life events - more importantly, this will give you the opportunity to meet me, ask any questions about how I work and from there decide if you would like to continue.
- at this point we will discuss the options of short or long term therapy. Short term therapy may be appropriate for an immediate crisis or recent event, however, with a longer term, the work will develop into a deeper more ongoing process of support and change.
Therapy sessions usually last for one hour and take place on a weekly basis.
Sometimes longer and more frequent sessions are deemed more appropriate.
I offer a sliding scale of fees - we discuss this in the first session setting an amount which feels appropriate to the client's means.
