What Happens Next?

​

If you’re thinking about working with me, there is an easy way to get started:

 

Click HERE to message me. I might ask you to complete a brief referral form and we can book your free 20-minute Zoom call.

​

The free 20-minute video call is a chance for us to connect and discuss working together. ​

If we decide to proceed after the call, we can arrange a first appointment.

 

Before Our First Appointment

 

Ahead of our first session, I’ll send you an email with links to my policies. To secure your appointment, please return the completed forms, and if you are self funding please arrange payment via bank transfer at least 72 hours in advance.

 

What to expect from a first appointment

 

We'll meet either online or face to face at an agreed time for your 50 minute appointment. A key aim of the first appointment  is to see if we feel like a good fit to work together. If not, I will do my best to guide you toward more suitable support. We will take your sessions at your pace, and usually the first one to three sessions are a chance for you to share your story - what feels meaningful and important to you, and exploring any fears and hopes you may have about therapy. We will usually spend time exploring in more depth what you are experiencing currently, how it's impacting your life, and the changes you hope to bring about. This might include talking about your background, significant past experiences, life circumstances, and anything that you feel is important to share and be heard. 

 

Ongoing Therapy

 

If we decide to continue working together, we will schedule regular sessions. These are usually  on the same day, either weekly or fortnightly, but this can be flexible, considering how busy our lives can be. Sessions can takes place online or face to face at my clinic in the Poole/Bournemouth area.
