What to Expect

Before Your First Session

  • Welcome! Whether you are new to therapy, or have had experience with therapy in the past; the process of finding a new therapist can be a daunting, and challenging process.

  • As such, I will try to make the process as simple, and accessible as possible

  • Research shows that a ‘good fit’ in terms of a therapist is one of the most important factors of success in therapy.

  • Due to this, I offer free 15-minute consultations for you to consider whether or not I may be a good fit for you, and your current goals.

  • In this consultation you will have the opportunity to discuss what you’re hoping to get from therapy, and some goals overall.

  • The consultation is also a chance for you to get a sense of me, and the way I practice. It is also a space where you can ask any further questions or concerns you may have.

  • I recognize that a good fit in regards to a therapist can be hard to find, and it can be a process that requires consideration.

  • As such, I will not pressure you to book a paid session, and I typically encourage individuals to take some time after the consultation to consider how they would like to move forwards before booking an initial paid appointment.

  • If you feel comfortable moving forward you can book your initial session through jane (an online booking app) with the button located on the banner.

  • After booking, you’ll receive an intake form with some general questions/areas to fill out as well as some consent forms reviewing the limits of confidentiality as well as the potential risks/benefits of psychotherapy.

First Session

  • The first session booked will be booked for 80 minutes to ensure that we have enough time as I start by going through a brief intake assessment collecting your history, as well as outlining goals for therapy so that I am best able to support you.

  • In this session, I will work with you to develop a therapeutic plan that work towards your goals, and to determine a pace that works for you.

Ongoing Sessions

  • Ongoing sessions can be booked for 50-80 minutes depending on what best works for you.

  • I try to be as collaborative, and transparent as possible in the work. As such, I am very open to feedback in regards to my work with you.

  • If you ever feel like there’s feedback you’d like to offer, I often try to hold space for discussions, and reflections regarding your experience in therapy overall.
