What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll start with introductions and discuss the confidentiality and consent aspects of therapy. I'll invite you to share your reasons for seeking therapy, and we'll collaboratively set goals for our work together. I'll provide an overview of my therapeutic approach, ensuring it aligns with your needs. Our conversation will focus on building rapport and establishing a safe space for open dialogue. You can expect to gain insights and, if applicable, initial coping strategies. We'll also cover practical details like session frequency and logistics. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer understanding of the therapeutic process and a foundation for our ongoing work together.
