What can you expect?
This service aims to provide you with an opportunity to talk about what is troubling or concerning you.
- The first one or two appointments will be for an assessment. This is for the psychologist to begin to understand the concerns you have.
- You and the psychologist can then decide whether further appointments would be useful.
- If a service is not offered, then the reasons for this are discussed and alternative services will be recommended if available.
- Or, you may decide that you do not want to take up the offer of the service.
- Deciding to have further appointments may lead to an arrangement for an agreed number of appointments (known as a contract).
- A contract is agreed, based on what you and the psychologist decide you need.
- The appointments are most often on a weekly or fortnightly basis, but the intervals between appointments may vary.
- If it becomes necessary for you to end the appointments before the contract is completed, it is important that you advise the psychologist so that the ending may be prepared for.
