What To Expect

First contact

If you are interested in working with me send an e-mail from the contact form on this website.  If I have availability I will reply to arrange an initial consultation.  If I don't have availability I will reply and let you know and where possible offer alternatives.

​

Initial Consultation

During our first meeting, we will assess together whether a more creative way of working can be useful for you. You do not need to have previous experience in therapy. I am trained to enable you to find the most suitable medium for you to engage to address and resolve or make troubling issues more bearable. Do you feel free to ask any questions about my practice training or experience. During this session we will work together to begin to identify your aims for therapy. After the initial consultation do feel free to spend some time thinking about if you would like to commit to therapy with me at this stage.  It is always advisable to meet a few therapists and decide who feels like a good fit for you.

​

1st Session Contract and Agreement

If you decide to begin therapy confirm via e-mail and I will book a slot for you. During this session, I will go through a therapy contract and agreement that has useful information recording therapy practice and payment expectations that form part of the boundaries and safety of the therapy. I usually recommend at the beginning of therapy to at least commit to weekly therapy for the first two months during which time we can develop a therapy plan together.
