Once you are booked for an initial consultation, our bookings team will instruct you to read the onboarding packs ahead of your session.
Things to think about which might help you prepare for your session...
If you’re having remote sessions, do you have private space for your session, where you feel safe and comfortable and won’t be overheard or distracted?
If you live with others…Can you use headphones in a less busy room in the house, or ask those you live with to go out while you have your session?
Wear what you feel comfortable in.
Also consider where you would feel comfortable and safe to talk about what you want to bring to your sessions.
Fancy coffee, builders brew, herbal tea, water… whatever your taste… have it with you.
It can be comforting to hold a hot drink, keep nervous hands busy, ensure you don’t get a dry mouth, and encourages you to relax into your environment.
If your session is remote, make sure you have a good connection to the internet as this will give you better video and sound.
We recommend closing down other tabs and applications that are open as this can help Teams run faster. If this may cause issues, maybe opt for phone counselling instead of Teams sessions.
If you have any questions about our services, or would prefer to speak to somebody first, you can email or call us directly
