Building Trust and Connection
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting relationship, which is the foundation of effective therapy. It allows me to understand your story, concerns, and goals, while also giving you the space to ask any questions or share any initial thoughts.
Understanding Your Needs
This session gives us the time to explore what brought you to therapy, including any background or personal history that may be relevant. A deeper understanding of your unique situation helps me tailor our work together to meet your specific needs.
Setting Goals and Expectations
We’ll also discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve. It’s important that we’re on the same page and have a shared understanding of what therapy will look like going forward. This will help us set a clear direction for our sessions.
Ensuring a Safe and Comfortable Space
I recognise that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so this full session allows us the time to move at your pace, ensuring you feel comfortable without feeling rushed. Your comfort is a top priority, and this session gives you the chance to share in a way that feels right for you.
Exploring the Therapeutic Process
I’ll also explain how therapy works, including confidentiality, session length, and how we’ll structure our time together. This ensures that you have a clear understanding of the process and feel confident moving forward.
Taking the time for a full initial session helps ensure that we can begin this journey together with clarity and understanding. I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you as we work towards your goals.
