Your first step towards better mental health begins with a friendly, supportive consultation. This is your chance to talk about what’s brought you to therapy, explore your hopes and goals, and find a therapist who suits your needs.
We’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as you start your journey, whether that’s virtually, in-person, or over the phone.
In this part of the consultation, we’ll explore what has brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to achieve. Whether you have specific goals in mind or are simply looking for support, understanding your motivations helps us tailor the experience to your needs and ensures we match you with the right therapist.
Here, we’ll discuss any specific preferences you have for your therapy experience. This might include the type of therapy you’re interested in, the kind of therapist you feel most comfortable with, or any practical considerations like session timings. These details help us personalise your care and ensure you feel as supported as possible.
We’ll take time to talk about the reasons you’ve decided to seek therapy, whether it's to address a particular challenge, manage ongoing feelings, or explore personal growth. Understanding your reasons helps us focus on what matters most to you and ensures we’re aligned in supporting your journey.
If you’ve had therapy before, we’ll discuss your past experiences - what worked well, what didn’t, and any lessons learned. This helps us build on your previous journey, avoid repeating what wasn’t helpful, and ensure your new therapy experience is even more effective for you.
We'll look at where you are in your personal journey and what has led you to this point. Whether you’re at the beginning or have been exploring your mental health for a while, understanding your path so far helps us support you in a way that feels meaningful and aligned with your goals.
In this part of the consultation, we’ll explore what you envision for yourself moving forward. Whether you have specific outcomes in mind or are seeking general improvement in your wellbeing, discussing your future helps us focus on the direction you’d like your therapy to take and the positive changes you hope to achieve.
