What to expect ?

Most people feel a little anxious before their first counselling or psychotherapy session. These feelings are completely normal because you are going to meet someone you don’t know and you are going to talk about something that worries or upsets you.

​

During the session you will be asked why you are seeking counselling or psychotherapy now. As you would expect I will ask questions to try and understand as fully as possible what has lead you to your current situation. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have as well.

When working with children, adolescents and families I tailor the sessions to meet the individuals or families needs. Sessions may involve individual therapy with child/adolescent/parent and also dual work with the family unit. One of the most important aspects of the first session is building trust and rapport while making sure the fit is right.
