INITIAL MEETING

AN INITIAL MEETING IS REQUIRED BEFORE BEGINNING COUNSELLING OR PSYCHOTHERAPY

Before starting counselling or psychotherapy, we will first arrange an initial meeting, which can usually be scheduled within a few days. This 90-minute session takes place at my practice in Wimbledon and provides a relaxed opportunity for us to discuss your experiences, concerns, and the challenges you’d like to address.

This meeting allows you to:

• Gain a clearer understanding of how counselling and psychotherapy work and how they might benefit you.

• Ask questions and share any concerns before deciding whether to proceed.

• Assess whether you feel comfortable working with me.

There is no obligation to continue after this session—it’s simply a chance for us to explore whether we’re a good fit.

At the end of the meeting, we’ll discuss whether short-term or long-term therapy would best suit your needs and clarify your goals for counselling. We can also explore other support options, such as specialist services, which may complement or run alongside therapy.

Finally, this session helps me determine whether my approach aligns with your needs. If we decide to work together, we’ll regularly review progress and adjust our methods as needed. your pricing strategy. Be sure to include important details like value, length of service, and why it’s unique.
