How to begin working with Steps Therapy
I want to give you an insight to your first session at Steps Therapy with me, Natelie, will look like. My ultimate goal is to create a warm and supportive environment for expectant parents, parents, and individuals right from our first interaction, whether over the phone, through text, or via email.
From the moment we connect, I want you to know that I understand the courage it takes to seek therapy. That's why I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and supported. This welcoming environment will continue into our first face-to-face meeting, whether in my cosy consulting room or through online sessions.
As an expectant parent or parent, I know that it can be challenging to reach out for support as you can feel judged by others, or you may even feel ashamed to do so. Especially when we may feel like we are struggling and everyone else seems to be coping and doing fine and enjoying their journey. I believe in creating an understanding, safe space where you can openly express your thoughts and concerns without judgment. I think it is expected to have anxieties and even feel that you don’t enjoy it, which is okay and normal. This safe and secure environment is crucial for establishing a solid therapeutic relationship.
Therapy Room in Bexleyheath or Online Zoom Counselling Sessions.
My therapy room is located within my consultation room in Bexleyheath. I have carefully curated this space for my clients, ensuring a calm and inviting atmosphere. I also have bathroom facilities for your comfort and free off-street parking access. For added convenience, I also offer flexibility with Online Zoom Counselling Sessions. Discovery Session
In the discovery session, I will send you a complete session contract. This helps to ensure clarity and alignment as we embark on our therapeutic journey together. If you choose to continue working with me, I offer a minimum commitment to our work, and we will review after this point to either end our work or continue. This process ensures that my approach attests to your evolving needs and aspirations.
First Steps Therapy Session
In our first session, I will take the time to inquire about your previous therapy experiences, your thoughts on counselling, and your expectations and concerns. This will help me better understand your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we will establish a framework for our work and explore how we can effectively collaborate.
At Steps Therapy, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way. Your journey towards healing and personal growth is essential to me, and I am here to walk alongside you as you take those meaningful steps forward. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!
