The Introductory Session

We decide whether or not counselling or psychotherapy might be beneficial for you after an initial exploratory meeting which lasts for half an hour.  I do not charge for this session.   

This first meeting offers an opportunity for you to share information about your situation/background and to explore issues of concern and hopes for therapy. We discuss what we both feel would be the best way to work together.  We might, for example, decide to try a few sessions and then re-evaluate what would be best.

Alternatively, if we don’t think that having counselling or psychotherapy with me is suitable, I will try to suggest other therapy or support options.

Therapy sessions are usually held at a time to suit you (day or evening).  We meet at a private consulting room at:
