First Meeting

The first meeting is an assessment session and lasts for one hour.

The aim of this initial session is to give you time to meet me in person and should help us both to decide whether counselling or working with me specifically could be helpful for you.

I know its easy for me to say but please try not to worry about what to say or how to start this first session because I am there to help you work out whats most important to work on at this time. I might ask questions around past experience of counselling, mental health history across the years and the current issues you are now facing. My questions are to help me work out if this is the right service for you. I really do want the best for you and that starts with finding you the right support.

There is no obligation to continue beyond this initial session at all and I am happy to refer you to colleagues or other agencies if it appears this might be more helpful.

If you would like to set up an initial assessment session then you can call me on the number at the top of this page or email using this contact form below and I will respond as quickly as possible.
