At your first appointment you will meet with one of our therapists to discuss whatever is on your mind. Your therapist will ask you a number of questions. They will also respond to any questions or concerns you may have about therapy.
During this first appointment, we try to get an understanding of your needs and what you want from therapy, and we will help you set up the best plan for you.
At the end of your first appointment, your therapist will ask if you wish to continue with further appointments. If you want to continue, we will set up your next appointments for you. Your therapist will explain the different types of support we can offer to you.
The easiest way to book your first appointment is by using our online booking service here. Booking an appointment is simple and takes about five minutes.
You can reach us by phone, email or get in touch through our online contact form.
Why do people have personal therapy?
There is no limit to what can be discussed in therapy. Meeting with a therapist provides support for any type of issue. Life is not always easy and therapy is a type of support that is specialised to your needs. Therapy for one person is not like therapy for anyone else.
People come to us for all kinds of reasons: anxiety, depression, low moods, a lack of purpose or motivation in life, relationship issues, intimacy issues, sexual problems, sexuality issues, gender and gender identity issues, confidence issues, self-worth and self-esteem issues, problems with family and friendships, guilt, shame, self-harming behaviour, loss and bereavement, psychological issues, obsessive behaviours, eating disorders, fear and phobias, infertility and fertility treatment issues, health issues, facing cancer, victims of crime, alcohol and drug issues, and much more.
You might visit our Support For section for more detailed information on these, and other, reasons people benefit from counselling and psychotherapy.
Feeling better should start as soon as you’ve had your first appointment. You may find your first appointment with us will be easier than you might think.
