Question 1

What should I expect on the first session?

Accepted Answer

In the first session we will go over informed consent and explored what you are hoping to address. You are welcome to answer as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
By the end of the session we will have co-created a treatment plan that you feel comfortable with. And there is always space for questions!

For virtual appointments please ensure that you are in a safe confidential space by yourself, for the entirety of the appointment.
