Before beginning therapy, an initial contact will take place. If, following this contact, it is agreed that we may be a suitable fit and availability can be arranged, you will be offered an initial session with me. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important part of the counselling process, and it is often only once we meet that we can determine whether we feel comfortable working together. Personality, connection, and the ability to build a therapeutic relationship all play a valuable role.Following our initial meeting, we will discuss contracting and undertake an assessment of your needs and my ability to work within an appropriate therapeutic framework. Any interventions or agreed approach to therapy will only be discussed after this process has taken place.For this reason, I am unable to make promises about specific outcomes or interventions prior to meeting, as it is important that any therapeutic work is tailored to your individual needs and agreed collaboratively.
