Following consultation, if we agree that I am a good fit for you as a Therapist and able to meet your needs, you will be provided with a written therapy contract and a request for additional information including emergency contacts and GP details, which will need to be returned prior to your first therapy session.

Assessment

During your initial assessment, we will discuss the nature and history of your difficulties and your current presenting problems.

We explore your goals for treatment and agree a preliminary set of sessions that feels suitable to target your needs.

Additionally, we will formulate your difficulties into the model of chosen therapy.

Treatment Sessions

Treatment sessions are likely to include an initial development of your understanding and socialising to your chosen treatment option.

We will explore psychoeducation and materials to develop your awareness and maintenance of your presenting problem.

Following each treatment session, you will receive an email with additional materials and resources to support the content of the session itself, which may also include experiments and tasks to work on outside of the session.

This helps to develop a toolkit of techniques and strategies to help and support you to independently maintain the changes and improvements made during therapy.
