General Process
Initial Assessment
The first session typically involves getting to know you and discussing your concerns in depth so that we can develop an understanding of how things came to be and what is keeping you stuck. This allows us to develop an informed plan on how to best support you and address the presenting issues going forward.​​​
​​​
1.5 hour session ​
Follow-up Sessions
Follow up sessions typically involve supporting you to build greater understanding, insight, and skills to navigate the issue that brought you in. The length of therapy depends on many factors, including the nature of the presenting issues.
​
50-60 minute sessions
​
Finishing Up
Once you have made good progress, we typically begin spacing out sessions with a view to putting sessions on hold. We typically reflect on what has been helpful, identify warning signs that things are getting wobbly again, and what you can try on your own before re-referring. ​
