FAQs

What can I expect from my first session?

The first session is more of an interview style where I gather some information about you and how we can work together. It is also a time for you to ask me questions and decide whether you wish to continue working with me. If we both feel comfortable in working together I will develop a therapy plan for the duration of our sessions whereby progress can be measured.

How is progress measured?

Progress is measured midway and focuses on the goals set out in the first session. If barriers to progress are identified we will explore the possible causes and make changes accordingly. This is a formal guide however I encourage open communication and welcome feedback at any stage of the therapeutic process.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes. All sessions are confidential however I am required by law to share information if I identify a risk of harm to yourself or others. In this case I will discuss this with you. I write notes following each session that are stored on a secured client management system to ensure your confidentiality is maintained.

You don’t have to overcome difficulties alone.
