Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling

One to one sessions

My name Joseph, a licensed Counselling Psychologist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on our Website Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Barnet – Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) (act-cognitive-therapy.com)

I appreciate for taking the time to read this information. I know it is not always easy to do, but it can really help you to start forming a picture of some of the things you are currently experiencing.

When we have our first session it will be an initial appointment where we can begin to get to know each other. It gives you the opportunity to let me know about the difficulties that you are currently experiencing in your own words. I can then inform you of what options are available to help with these difficulties and hopefully, we can come to a shared decision about the next steps.

If you ever have any questions about this, please do raise them with me during our initial session. In the session, I will ask you some questions to get an idea about how you are feeling, what’s important to you, what you want to achieve, and what your expectations of therapy are.

Before our first session I advise that you start to have a think about what you feel able to share with me at the appointment, perhaps make some notes if that helps you to remember what you would like to say.

Please don’t worry if of all this seems a bit new and scary – I am here to support you the best way I can through this process.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, by messaging me here.

I am really looking forward to working with you and hope that you will find our appointment helpful.

Warm wishes,

Joseph
