Initial Consultation
A WPF Therapy Initial Consultation is a 90 minute process in
which a trained therapist will invite you to talk and ask you some
questions to understand what is troubling you. This conversation
will enable the therapist to consider with you the way your
problems are affecting you and discuss ways forward. They will
discuss with you whether talking therapy is best suited to your
needs and if so what kind of therapy will be likely to be most
helpful.
If our conclusion is that talking therapy is not suitable for
you, we will let you know and will make a recommendation of what is
best suited for your specific needs.
