What to Expect
Your First Appointment
Your initial consultation offers a chance to talk through your situation in some depth. Sandy will take time to understand your history, your current concerns, your strengths and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together you will begin to consider an approach that feels thoughtful, appropriate and tailored to your needs.
Ongoing Sessions
Ongoing sessions are usually held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your circumstances and what feels most helpful. Therapy provides a space to reflect, gain insight and develop new ways of responding.
Concessions may apply for regular weekly or fortnightly sessions
Cancellations
Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee.
