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.
