What to expect

Your first session

A first session is a conversation, not a test. It lasts 50 minutes.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Before you come

    You get your fee in writing, and a link to our intake forms on our own portal. Please do not send medical details through this website.

  2. 02

    Step 2: The first conversation

    We talk about what you want from therapy, what pace feels right and what you want to leave alone for now. You do not have to tell your story.

  3. 03

    Step 3: How we would work

    Your clinician explains the method, what it asks of you and what it can stir up, and then you decide.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Before you leave

    We take time to settle, agree on a next step and answer questions about fees and cancellation.

Questions

About the first session

01Do I have to talk about what happened?

No. You decide what to share, and when. Many first sessions are about pace, what helps and what you want from therapy.

02Who will I see?

We suggest a clinician when you write to us. You can ask to meet a different one if the fit is not right.

03Is there anything to prepare?

Nothing special. If you are coming in person, tell us if there is anything that would make the visit easier.

Ready to book?

Write to us and tell us how to reach you.
