The initial session
All new clients are asked to attend a 'no ties' initial session with the psychologist, counsellor / psychotherapist or CBT therapist they prefer, or the person who is best suited to their needs/wishes (charged at the usual rate). This session provides a chance to talk through particular issues and concerns and to decide the best way forward. During the session, the practitioner will explain how it all works and answer any questions your may have. It is quite usual for clients to feel a bit uncomfortable about coming to see a counsellor, psychologist or CBT therapist for the first time. All our practitioners are experienced professionals and are used to putting people at ease.
Although the majority of clients will go on to work with the practitioner they meet for their initial session, we believe finding the right person is vital. Therefore on occasion, we might suggest you meet with a different practitioner if we feel you may be better suited to his / her style of working. Similarly, if you feel your practitioner isn't the one for you, please don't hesitate to let us know.
