My first session:

Your first session will be about why you are looking for therapy; what you want to achieve from the therapy, and agreeing how you and I are going to work together.

We will go through a number of questions to help decide whether we will both be comfortable working together and to check that you can be offered the most appropriate support.

If the answer is yes, then we will discuss confidentiality, times, dates and length of counselling, price of the sessions, how I work & my qualifications, and safeguarding.

I have monthly supervision as part of my counselling process to

to protect my clients welfare, ensure adherence to ethical standards, and support the support my professional and personal development. This is to ensure that you have the best counselling experience and client confidentiality is still adhered to within supervision sessions.

You will also be able to ask me any questions that you may have about counselling and the process.

If you are happy to go ahead with the counselling we will then co-create an agreement together.
