FAQ

Initial Session/Assessment

The initial appointment is fundamental for both me and you to make a decision whether to work together. It’s also the opportunity for you to ask questions, find out more about the therapeutic process, talk about what you hope to get out of it and agree a desirable outcome that we both feel is realistic and achievable. If you decide to continue, you will be asked to commit to attending regular sessions.

I don't offer a free initial meeting/conversation, as I believe it's important to meet for the full duration of a session to really have a sense of what it's like to work together.

Duration and frequency of meetings

Once weekly sessions are the norm, although there will be times when it may be clinically appropriate to have sessions more or less frequently. The standard length is 50 minutes. If you prefer longer sessions, these might be arranged depending on my time availability.

Sessions can continue for a limited period of time or on an open-ended basis for more complex, in-depth work.

I discuss the likely minimum duration of our work during the initial meeting and I also review clinical progress with my clients regularly.
