What can I expect in a first session?
You can expect to talk about what you want to explore in therapy. This is a time for you to see how we might work together. I will ask you questions about yourself and there is usually a therapeutic contract to go through together which will include the terms and conditions such as number of sessions and how frequently we will review them.
