INITIAL CONTACT

Send me a simple message via the contact form, email, or call me directly to briefly explain your concern. Together, we’ll quickly find an appointment for an initial consultation.

Rescheduling or frequent cancellations create a significant additional workload and costs for me. I understand that the demands of everyday life can sometimes lead to changes, but due to the associated costs, there are limits to the flexibility I can offer you. Scheduled appointments can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance via SMS, phone call, or email. You will then receive a brief confirmation of the cancellation from me. If cancellations are made too late, the full consultation fee will be charged.

  INITIAL CONSULTATION

The initial consultation marks the beginning of your therapeutic or counseling journey – a meaningful first step where we connect and lay the foundation for our collaboration. It is a space where you can share openly, knowing that you are in a safe and supportive environment.

What happens during the initial consultation?

We typically start with a brief introduction where I explain how we will work together and outline the framework for our sessions. We’ll address practical details like session frequency, the expected duration of the process, and confidentiality, which ensures that your personal information remains protected.

The focus then shifts to you. This is your opportunity to talk about what brought you here, your concerns, and your hopes. By understanding your unique situation, we can explore whether this process feels like the right fit for your needs and how I can support you best.

Why is the initial consultation important?

• Understanding your concerns: Together, we’ll explore what’s been on your mind and the changes you’re seeking.
  

• Building trust: A strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of meaningful therapeutic work, and this session sets the stage for that connection.
  

• A first impression: What you share will help me develop an initial understanding of your situation and possible ways we can approach it.
  

• Answering your questions: You’ll have the chance to ask anything you’d like about my approach, methods, or the process itself.
  

What should you bring?

You don’t need to prepare anything specific. Simply come with an open mind and a willingness to talk about what’s important to you. If there are particular issues or questions you want to address, you’re welcome to jot them down and bring them along.

What happens next?

By the end of the session, we’ll discuss whether this feels like the right path for you and how we might move forward. The initial consultation is an investment in your well-being – a chance to gain clarity, feel supported, and take a meaningful first step toward growth and positive change.

  TREATMENT DURATION

The duration of treatment can only be estimated after a thorough assessment and analysis of your situation. The frequency of our sessions depends on your needs and the goals we set for the process. In times of acute crisis, more frequent sessions (once or twice a week) may be necessary. For other concerns, meeting every two to three weeks might suffice.

To ensure the highest quality of support, it is essential that we establish regular sessions. Ideally, these should occur at consistent intervals, such as weekly or biweekly, to maintain a steady and effective therapeutic process.

For planning purposes, it’s important that I know your availability in advance. Please let me know which time slots or fixed appointments suit you best so that we can create a routine that is both reliable and works well for you.
