The
chances are if you are reading this that you have some
kind of problem that you would like to resolve or an aspect
of your life you would like to change or improve. Taking
a decision to make that first move and ask for help is
an act of courage in itself. Please feel free to ring
me and have an informal discussion about what it is you
would like to work on and to determine if you would like
to meet me for an initial assessment. Don’t be deterred
if you get an answer-phone message. Your call is important
and if you just leave your name and number I will get
back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, if you
feel more comfortable you can email me.
During that
first session you will be invited to discuss what it is
you would like to achieve from therapy and we can agree
mutually a way to move forward. In order to protect your
well-being it is important to establish as much back-ground
information as possible before suggesting a treatment
plan. This will include completing a medical questionnaire.
If this sounds daunting, please don’t worry. It
is purely for your benefit and safety and it is not an
inquisition!
There is of
course no obligation to continue with sessions at any
point in the process. The choice is yours. If I feel that
I am not the most appropriate therapist for you I will
make every effort to refer you to another practitioner
or organisation who will be of service.
The
cost for this initial assessment is £40.00. If you
are on a low-income this fee is negotiable.
Please note that any information will be treated in
the strictest of confidentiality in accordance to the
