Assessment

An assessment is the first step in reaching a psychological understanding of a person’s difficulties and experiences and to determine which type of therapy, if any, might be most suitable. This usually takes between one and three sessions. You may request a written (non-legal) psychological assessment report. All assessments are linked with future recommendations.

​

Talking Therapy

Following assessment, a course of therapy may be offered. Brief and longer-term therapies are available. Length of therapy is collaboratively negotiated between therapist and client. Sessions are usually on a weekly basis, but may be arranged fortnightly or less frequently in certain circumstances.
