Initial Consultation

A first conversation, at your pace

When we first talk, I will ask what is bringing you to counselling and what you would like help with. You can ask me questions too. This gives us both a chance to see whether working together feels right.

Getting started

What we can discuss

01

What is happening now

You can share as much or as little as feels useful about what has led you to seek support.

02

What you hope for

We can consider what you would like to understand or change, even if it is not yet clear.

03

Practical questions

Ask about the approach, online or in-person sessions, fees, confidentiality and the next steps.

No pressure to have it all worked out

Is this the right fit?

Finding someone you feel able to speak with matters. An initial conversation can help us both consider whether I can offer the support you are looking for.
