what to expect
the connect call will be via Zoom and it’s a chance for us to hear and see each other if that is available to you. To ask one another questions and to see if we might work well together. We’ll both get a vibe from that first video call.
we then both have a opportunity to think about it and to continue the process or not. There is no pressure to book further sessions.
sessions are usually 50 mins long but if this does’t work for you we can chat about the length of sessions.
if you want to go ahead you will get form to fill in with essential information which I will keep in your password-protected folder.
all of our sessions are confidential accept if there is a risk of imminent harm but I would expect to discuss this with you if I felt it was necessary to speak to any other person/ organisation.
