What to expect
Your Initial session
Our initial session together is, for want of a word, a meet and greet to enable you to decide if we are a good fit to work together. This usually takes around 35-40 minutes from start to finish.
Your first initial session by the way is free.
During your initial session, I will invite you to share an overview of the problem/s you are experiencing, the impact it is having on your life to whatever degree you feel comfortable with on the day. We will then explore what you consider your needs are, and also what you would like to gain from your time in therapy (commonly referred to as goals)
This will enable your future sessions to be formulated specifically to match your specific needs, wants and wishes. Should you wish to go ahead with some sessions, we will then draw up a contractual agreement of how we will work together. Before the close of your initial session we will arrange a further date to start our work together.
Your ongoing therapy support Sessions
Most therapy takes place in planned regular sessions which last around 50-60 minutes. How many sessions we have together will depend on your own unique needs and personal circumstances.
What we may talk about within sessions together will vary depending upon what you feel you need on the day such as help with:
● Your feelings, thoughts, and emotions
● Situations you find difficult to manage
● Past/present challenging life events
Occasionally you may find yourself feeling a bit stuck as to what to talk about within a session, this can and does happen more than you think in client sessions. Such times will be managed accordingly with the greatest of respect, sensitivity and understanding towards you.
Together we will regularly review how you consider sessions are supporting your needs and desirable goal outcomes.
Most importantly, we work together as a team to draw out the inner strengths and problem solving abilities from deep within you that life's challenges have over time suppressed.
