Initial Assessment

A 50-minute initial assessment to explore what has brought you to counselling, understand your needs, and discuss what you hope to achieve.
You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions, experience how I work, and decide whether ongoing counselling feels right for you.

Your initial consultation and assessment is an opportunity for us to begin understanding what has brought you to counselling and whether working together feels like the right fit.

During the session, we may explore:
What has led you to seek support at this time
How your thoughts, feelings or experiences are affecting your day-to-day life
Any challenges, worries or patterns that are impacting your wellbeing
Your relationships, work or other areas of life that feel important
What you hope to gain from counselling

This is also your opportunity to experience what counselling with me is like, ask any questions you may have, and decide whether you would like to continue with ongoing sessions.
There is no expectation to have everything worked out before you begin. You only need to come as you are, and we'll take things one step at a time.
