• It allows you to meet me and find out whether you feel comfortable working with me. This may seem a little unusual, as one does not usually do this with other medical professionals. However, therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so it is important that you select a therapist that is best for you.

• It allows me to find out more about your needs. Occasionally this process may involve a second or third appointment, where there are particularly complicated issues that need to be assessed.

By the end of the assessment, I will provide you with a summary of how I understand the issue, and what I think would be needed to help you with the issue. This will include an estimate of how many sessions you might need to address a particular issue.
