The consultation is the time for you to talk about what has brought you to therapy and explore where you feel improvements are needed without any pressure. This takes place in a confidential, safe non-judgmental environment to make you feel absolutely comfortable. It is also a time for you to tell me what you are expecting from therapy. This will also be the time for you to sense if you are comfortable with me being your therapist in your journey of self-discovery and healing. Following this we will discuss a treatment plan and fees.
