Once you have booked your first session, you will receive two forms before the start of our first session. The first form is titled Informed Consent, a contract to one another. The second form is the Intake Form, a questionnaire that will help me understand where you are in life and how I may support you in this journey. You are welcome to complete these forms before the start of our session.
In the first session:
First, We will discuss these forms and any questions you may have. When you are ready, we gradually and at your own pace will start to explore the reasons why you booked your appointment.
With that information in mind, we will identify the goals that you are aiming towards in our work together.
If you don’t know what those goals are right now, don’t worry. We can explore that together.
In future sessions, we will continue moving towards those identified goals and any others that may come into view as we work together and as life shifts.
