What to expect in sessions

Typically, the first few sessions are spent conducting an assessment, to develop a thorough understanding of your circumstances and of you, as well as to determine your goals for therapy. It is important that you are comfortable with the psychologist, as well as with the approach and if you are not, you will be supported to find someone who is a better fit.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes duration. .
