WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
At your first appointment the psychologist will be interested in getting to know you, including your personal and family history, your experiences of previous treatment, as well as expectations of treatment and what you would like to achieve as a result of our work together. As well as developing goals for your treatment, the first session is also a good opportunity for you to ask questions about your treatment. You may also be given some information to read or websites to look at for further information.
It is important for you to know that no first session is exactly the same. Everyone is different and while it may be possible to discuss personal and family history, expectations and goals in the first session for one individual, it may take two or more sessions for another individual. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to reach out prior to your appointment.
