You can expect a collaborative relationship to help you access your inner resilience. My role is to help listen to your story and devise your therapeutic goals. After one to two sessions we will devise a treatment plan that we will evaluate over the course of therapy. If you are not getting the benefit from the services we will look at adapting the treatment plan to move you towards change in your life. You can expect to be an active participant in therapy. There will be assigned tasks outside of session for you to complete.

The first session will consists of me completing an interview to not just get a sense of your presenting problem and relevant history. In addition, I will assess what are the skills that you need to learn to help you deal with the adversity in life. Once I have gained a good sense of your presenting problem then I work towards devising your therapeutic goals and treatment plan.
