What happens when you get in touch?
It can be daunting taking that first step but my aim is always to make sure you feel in control at every stage.
-
Once you send me a message, email, or call me, I will get back to you within 24 hours (unless it's a Sunday or bank holiday). I try to answer all calls but I may be with a client at the time so do leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
-
I will arrange a time convenient for both of us to have a free 30 minute consultation and depending on what suits you best, this can be face to face at the Therapy Lodge, by phone or via a video conference call (Google Meet). This consultation session allows us to discuss your needs, what you want from therapy as well as allow you the opportunity to discuss any questions you have for me. There is no obligation to continue seeing me after this. The most important thing is that you feel like I am someone you could work with.
-
If you decide that I'm the right therapist for you (again, there is no pressure!) and I believe I can support you, then we can arrange our first 1 hour session either face to face at the Therapy Lodge or over a video conference call (Google Meet).
-
This first session will delve deeper into your reasons for coming to therapy, what you hope to achieve at the end of it and a discussion about how we could work together.
-
We then agree a plan which works best for you. Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly depending on your needs and if at any point you want to change the direction therapy takes, we can discuss and make changes. You are always in control!
