PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING - WHAT TO EXPECT
FIRST CONTACTOur first contact is likely to be over the phone when you can ask me questions and tell me a little about why you want us to meet. We will then agree an appointment which will last for 60 minutes. In this first session, you will do much of the talking and I will listen carefully, assessing how I can help you. If we then both decide that we want to work together, we shall agree upon a number of sessions and find a regular weekly slot to suit us both.
In our first session I shall also explain the ground rules concerning confidentiality, boundaries, safety, ethics, supervision, missed session payments, and holidays.
