How do I begin therapy?
The first courageous step is to make contact and arrange a time that we can chat about your concerns. This chat is known as the assessment appointment and starts the process. The assessment is not so clinical as in attending a GP or hospital, neither is it interrogative, intrusive or invasive. It is simply the space where we look at your history leading up to you choosing to seek help. A platform for us to decide how best we might work together going forwards, a chance to talk about confidentiality (NB for security notes are handwritten only, stored and securely archived), receive a clear overview of the options available, discover the therapist’s own philosophy and what therapy in practice really looks like. If we decide we are a fit and choose to continue, review takes place approximately every six weeks. Please note that no therapy can take place during the first session, it is for assessment purposes only, as described above.
