A bit about how it works...
I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation so give me a call - It's a really good way for you to see if I am the right person for you, and for me to hear a bit about you and how we can work together.
Then, we can arrange a first appointment at my practise in Hempsted, Gloucester during week days. On Saturday's I offer home visit appointments. Outside of this, skype appointments can also be arranged.
On your first appointment, there are a few questionnaire type forms to fill in which provide me with some details about yourself. All notes are kept confidential and in line with Data Protection and insurance requirements. Depending on what is required, we will agree on how many sessions are needed and plan regular reviews so we can monitor your progress.
If you have any queries at all, just give me a ring. I look forward to hearing from you.
