| Following your contact, an initial meeting is arranged in which you will be able to say something about your problems and explore with the therapist how they might be able to help. This is intended to be a relatively relaxed and friendly conversation in which both you and the therapist can discuss your needs and decide how these might be addressed together. It is possible that after the first session you decide not to continue any further. This would be completely reasonable and there would never be any pressure placed on you. If, however, both you and the therapist decide to continue working together then how many sessions you will meet for and what the meetings will involve will be agreed between you. It isn’t always possible to say how many sessions will be needed as this very much depends on the issues people bring. However, it should be possible to have some idea by the end of the initial meeting. Any future changes will be discussed with you and there will never be any commitment for you to attend any more sessions than you wish to. |
