What is Consultation?
Consultation is an initial appointment, lasting up to 1 hour by video-call. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what you’d like support with. During this session, I’ll ask some questions to understand your needs, you’ll have space to ask me anything, and you’ll also get a feel for what it’s like to work with me. It’s both an assessment and a taster session, helping us decide together whether therapy with me feels like the right fit.
Consultations can also be helpful when you feel unsure about what therapy would be helpful and you’d like to talk it through with a professional. I practice ethically, meaning that I will always give the recommendations that are the most helpful for you, even if that means referring you to another therapist. My experience of working in multiple therapeutic teams over the years means that I have knowledge of lots of different therapies — not just the ones I offer! So, if there is a therapy I think would help you more, I’ll support you to access it.
