For many people this is the hardest part - making that first phone call or sending that first email.

 

The first step is for you to contact me by telephone or email (see the contact page) so that I can book you in for an appointment.  This meeting is called an Initial Consultation and usually lasts 50 minutes.  The purpose of this Initial Consultation is to make an assessment for psychotherapy.

 

In your Initial Consultation, your current situation, needs and concerns are explored.

 

Complimentary First Meeting

We appreciate that it is sometimes very difficult to meet with a psychotherapist for the first time.  Discussing your most personal worries and concerns with someone who is effectively a stranger to you can be a big barrier preventing you from getting the help you need.  For this reason I offer a 30-minute complimentary meeting to help you make that first step.

 

Appointments can be scheduled for mornings, afternoons or some evenings.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
