Booking a first session can feel like a big deal. Most people imagine a couch, a silent therapist and a lot of awkward pauses. In reality, it looks a lot more like a conversation.

Before you arrive

You don’t need to prepare anything. No list of symptoms, no perfect way to explain what’s going on. If you want, jot down two or three things on your phone, but it’s completely optional.

The first few minutes

We start with the practical stuff: how sessions work, confidentiality and its limits, and any questions you have. Then I’ll simply ask what brought you here. You can start wherever you want.

At the end

We take a few minutes to check how it felt and decide together on next steps. If it’s not a fit, that’s fine too, and I can point you to someone else.
