Getting Started

GETTING STARTED

Starting Therapy

Beginning therapy can sometimes feel like a big step. I want the process to feel as clear and straightforward as possible, while making sure we begin our work together safely and thoughtfully.

Complete a short, confidential self-referral form. This gives me some initial information about you, what brings you to therapy and the kind of support you are looking for.

Self-Referral

Agreement & Assessment

Once we agree to proceed, I will send you a Therapeutic Agreement and an Initial Assessment Form to complete before our first session. These help establish a clear, safe and supportive foundation for our work together.

In our first session, we will have time to discuss the information you have provided, explore any questions or important details, and begin getting to know each other. From there, our therapeutic work begins.

THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP

Shaping Our Work Together

The structure of therapy provides a safe, clear and ethical foundation for our work. Professional boundaries and agreements help create a consistent and supportive environment, while leaving space for your individuality, needs and preferences.

Within this framework, your autonomy and choices are central to the therapeutic process. We work collaboratively, exploring what matters to you, agreeing on areas of focus and regularly reflecting on whether our approach continues to meet your needs. You are always welcome to ask questions, express concerns and discuss your preferences.

Every five sessions, we review our work together, considering how you are experiencing therapy, what has been helpful and what you would like to focus on next. You can also raise these questions at any time.

My role is to maintain a safe and ethical therapeutic framework while offering professional support. Within that framework, we shape our work together, respecting your voice, boundaries and right to make your own decisions.

You can complete the confidential self-referral form below to share a little about yourself and what brings you to therapy. From there, we can explore whether working together feels right for you.
