How we begin

The first session involves creating together a counselling agreement.

This is to help address and anxieties about how therapy works, answers questions and remove doubts.

The first session involves me listening to what brings you to therapy, the presenting problem/issue and what you wish to achieve.

 

 

How we begin with Psychosexual Therapy

The first session involves creating together a counselling agreement. This is to help address and anxieties about how therapy works, answers questions and remove doubts. The first session involves me listening to what brings you to therapy, the presenting problem/issue and what you wish to achieve. This is the same whether coming alone or partners.

With psychosexual therapy the first session, an initial assessment of what the underlying sexual dysfunction or dysfunctions are is where we begin. Within the assessment and the client counselling agreement, I provide further details on what psychosexual therapy entails, and from the feedback from the initial assessment provide guidance on timescales and what the demands are in sex therapy for tasks to be completed away from the therapy session.
