Psychotherapy

What happens in the first session

What to expect from your first meeting with a psychologist, and why there is no need to prepare.

Many people come to their first session feeling a little apprehensive. That is normal: we do not know what to expect, or where to start.

What happens

The first meeting is a space to get to know each other. You talk about what brought you to ask for help and I ask a few questions to better understand your situation.

You do not need the right words: we will look for them together.

And afterwards?

At the end of the session we decide together whether to continue and how often. You are always free to take your time to decide.

The first step is the most important

Choose the day and time that suit you. You will receive an email confirmation, and you can reschedule or cancel at any time.
