What to Expect

Initial consultations explore any areas of difficulty you may be experiencing.
The first session will establish and explore your goals and expectations in relation to your treatment. From there, your psychologist will help you develop a realistic plan in order to achieve those goals. In subsequent sessions your psychologist will be working with you to help develop strategies that will assist you in living your life happily and comfortably. Your progress towards your goals will be periodically reviewed to ensure you are getting the maximum benefit possible from your sessions.
