Start with an Initial Therapy Assessment

30 minutes — £30

The Initial Therapy Assessment is a focused session designed to help us explore whether therapy is the right support for you at this time.

This session provides a structured opportunity to:

  • Talk about what has led you to seek therapy now

  • Explore your main concerns and what you are hoping for

  • Consider whether ongoing therapy would be appropriate

  • Discuss possible next steps, if we decide to continue

This is an assessment and planning session, rather than ongoing therapy. There is no obligation to continue after this session.

 

Who This Assessment Is For

This assessment is suitable for you if:

  • You are an adult woman (18+)

  • You are seeking professional, structured online therapy

  • You are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsettled

  • You are considering therapy and want to explore whether it feels like the right step

 

What This Session Is Not

To ensure clarity:

  • This is not a full therapy session

  • It is not crisis or emergency support

  • It is not ongoing treatment

If you require urgent mental health support, please contact your GP, NHS services, or emergency services.

 

What Happens After the Assessment?

At the end of the session:

  • We will review whether therapy feels like a good fit

  • If we proceed, we will discuss session frequency and next steps

  • If therapy with me is not suitable, I will aim to guide you toward alternative support where appropriate

Many clients find the assessment helpful even if they decide not to continue with therapy.
