When we meet

It is normal to experience a range of emotions when seeing a psychologist for the first time, or recommencing treatment with a new psychologist. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone.

At the first appointment, you will be met with respect, warmth and understanding. I will take the time to get to know you, explore and understand your concerns before collaboratively developing an individualised plan for treatment.

The therapeutic process is different for everyone, so the number of sessions you may need will depend on your individual circumstances including yours needs, goals for treatment, resources, supports and motivation. We will collaboratively review your progress throughout the treatment, and I will assist in finding the best approach to meeting your goals.
