Our Services
It is essential that you feel comfortable with your psychologist. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute telephone consult before booking in your first session. This is an opportunity for the therapist to briefly talk to you about your reasons for seeking support, to ensure it is a good fit. Please note that this is not a therapeutic session.
