Further information
An initial session is an opportunity to explore the concerns that are bringing one to seek counselling or psychotherapy, what an appropriate timeframe may be, how counselling or therapy might proceed and a chance to see whether the therapist and client will work well together.
Should an initial session not to lead to working together, referrals to other counsellors and therapists may be offered.
For couples, the first session will culminate in an offer to the couple to go away and think if it feels right for them or the offer of a six-twelve week initial contract. At six or twelve weeks, there will be a review to consider completing at that stage or continuing on.
