What can I expect from my first session? 

The first session is very similar to meeting someone for the first time in your day-to-day life.

 I will probably have some questions for you so that I can get a good understanding of what is going on for you and how I might be able to help you.

It is good to answer me truthfully to have the best experience possible.

My hope is you find the environment provides a welcoming and calming invitation to support you with ease and comfort.

The main thing at your first session is that you begin to feel relaxed, reassured, and safe.

At the first session I hope to get a good understanding of who you are.  

I may ask you about your life, family, physical health and what you would like to achieve in therapy.

I will check in with you how you feel about the first meet with me and if you would like to proceed with sessions. 

Can I speak to someone first?

Yes, if you wish to discuss any concerns before proceeding with a specific service.
