Our first session together will be about getting a clearer picture of what may be going on for you, and what has caused you to seek counselling. This will involve some paperwork and an assessment of your needs, frequency  and length of session and how we can best work together.  The most important factor is our ability to work together and that you feel comfortable with me in order that we get the best outcome for you.
