What to Expect 

 

Before we start work with you, we really want to get to know you, and to gain an understanding of your needs to insure we really understand what you need from us.  We know that often the root of your challenges are not fully understood and so seeking help can be frustrating.  Our assessment is designed to give you a really good understanding and analysis of the issues and to provide you with the confidence and trust that we know how to treat you effectively and ethically.  So, we will work with you in making the right choice of professional at the right price-point and support the relationship through regular feedback and reviews.

 

You will be provided with our initial written assessment and a provisional treatment plan for you to discuss with your therapist. This will be followed with a comprehensive booklet of information and advice that includes space for your notes and observations. Your treatment is regularly reviewed and adapted to ensure your therapy journey is productive and relevant. 

​

For in-person sessions, you can expect a warm welcome and fabulous facilities across all of our meeting spaces.  Our environments are discreet, welcoming and comfortable.  Sessions may also take place virtually where you remain in an environment safe and familiar to you whilst communicating with us through video or phone link. 

 

Our work with you is governed by strict rules of confidentiality and ethical principles and so you will be able to feel confident in our contracting around how we work together.
