What is a consultation?Consultation is a free 15 minute phone call. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions to see if my responses match what you are looking for and to see if we are a good fit.
Things to know about consultationA consultation is not the same as counselling appointment. Fifteen minutes together is insufficient time to address your concerns in a meaningful way. Consultations is an opportunity for you to ask questions and confirm that we will be good fit. I will not be convincing you that I am the best therapist for you or that my approach to therapy is the best for the issues you are facing. Its something you need to decide for yourself. The consultation is an opportunity for you to talk and ask questions so it is best that you know what you would like to ask. Below is a collection of questions (and some answers) I have been asked in the past during a consultation session:
As I am answering your questions, your job is to check with your internal reaction. You might ask yourself the following questions as I respond to your inquires:
Attending a consultation does not mean that you commit to counselling with me. If it doesn’t feel like the best fit, I will be happy to make a referral to someone who might be a better fit. I invite you to trust your gut. After our consultation, even if you are not able to identify a specific reason for not wanting to continue working with me, its best to trust yourself. Counselling demands a lot of resources, which include financial, emotional, time so when you approach therapy its best to go with the best fit possible. |
