To help you decide if psychotherapy - and therapy with me specifically - feels like a good match for you, I offer two to three initial assessment sessions at a reduced fee, this is to help us:

​

• Explore what has brought you to therapy and the difficulties you’re facing

• Clarify your goals and hopes for therapy and whether I might be able to help

• Explore if short-term or long-term therapy would be most clinically effective or practical for you right now

• Get a feel for how we might work together; therapy is an important relationship, and our therapeutic relationship should feel right for you

• Discuss the structure and practicalities of therapy, including frequency, approach, and expectations

These sessions are not just about information-gathering, they’re a genuine opportunity to see if the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. Psychotherapy works best when it feels right for both of us, and there’s no obligation to continue if it doesn’t feel like the right space for you.
