Initial consultation
Our first meeting typically serves the crucial purpose of determining if we're a good match for collaboration. This session isn't just for you to evaluate me; it's a chance for both of us to assess compatibility. There's absolutely no obligation for you to commit to working with me, or any other therapist for that matter, if you're not entirely convinced that it's the right fit.
During this initial consultation, I'll invite you to outline your concerns and the reasons motivating your pursuit of counseling at this specific juncture. We'll delve into your background, current circumstances, and your aspirations for counseling. Based on our discussion, I'll sketch out a preliminary understanding of your issues and design a potential plan. After reviewing these points, you'll have enough time to ask any questions you might have.
As we wrap up this session, I'll encourage you to take at least a day to reflect on whether you'd like to proceed working together. If you choose to continue, our next step would be discussing the optimal approach for our collaboration.
Duration of counseling
The duration of our collaboration is tailored to each unique situation and can range from a few sessions to more extensive, longer-term engagement. Following our initial assessment, I'll gauge the number of sessions I believe could be beneficial, and we'll jointly decide on this based on our agreed-upon goals. Regardless of our initial plan, it's important to note that the arrangement remains open to reevaluation.
This flexibility is essential due to potential developments that may surface during our work together and the possibility of shifts in your objectives. To illustrate, you might initially seek assistance for managing panic attacks, and we might set a goal of 6 sessions to address this issue. However, as our work progresses, other matters could come to light, like a general sense of dissatisfaction with your relationships or lifestyle. At this point, we can collaboratively decide whether to extend sessions to delve into these additional concerns and determine the number of sessions required for exploration.

Counseling can benefit anyone seeking support, self-discovery, or personal growth. It's especially helpful if you're dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions. The initial consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine whether counseling aligns with your needs. If you decide not to continue with counseling after the first consultation, a full refund will be provided, ensuring that you can make this important decision with comfort and without financial worry.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of our counselling process. Your privacy is paramount, and anything discussed during our sessions remains strictly confidential, except in exceptional circumstances outlined in our privacy policy.
The number of sessions needed depends on your individual situation and objectives. Short-term therapy for specific issues may require fewer sessions, whereas more complex concerns might call for a longer-term approach. As a guiding principle, I believe in counseling that lasts as long as necessary but is as brief as possible. However, I am committed to being there for as long as my clients need me, from a quick 100-meter sprint to a full marathon. We will regularly discuss your progress and needs, allowing us to adjust the number of sessions as needed to best support your journey.

In these sessions, we'll engage in candid and unbiased conversation, aiming to gain understanding, build coping mechanisms, and encourage personal development. Every session is customized to meet your specific needs and objectives, providing a nurturing setting for constructive transformation.
