The Process
Every couple starts with…
Session One: An Informal Chat
We’ll talk about:
- Why you need help
- Your story as a couple
- If we’re a good fit
This session gives us all a chance to see what we think of each other.
Which is important.
Because one of the biggest predictors of success in therapy is the relationship between client(s) and therapist.
So, if I’m not your cup of tea, then it’s wise to discontinue.
(This works both ways, of course.)
So that’s the first session.
Once finished, the ball will be in your court (to book the next session or not, I won’t chase you.)
Session Two: Individual Assessment
I’ll talk to each of you alone for 45 minutes.
We’ll discuss:
- Your reasons for therapy
- Your family history
- Your attachment style
Note: When you book your 90 minute session, that time is evenly split between you (45 minutes each.)
Here, I’m interested in learning more about you as individuals.
So, I’ll ask about your reasons for coming to therapy, your family history, and attachment history (we tend to do relationships how we experienced our caregivers do them.)
Session Three: Treatment Plan
I’ll share:
- What’s working well
- What needs improvement
- Tools to help you improve
Here’s where I will outline a treatment plan.
I will feedback on what’s working well, and what could be improved.
For the “what can be improved,” I’ll share exactly what works to do that, and begin helping you implement effective tools to make it happen.
Yes, this is where we get down to work.
Future sessions build on this work.
Bottom Line?
I use proven methods. No guesswork.
The goal:
To make your next conversation better.
We’ll keep working until you can do this without me.
Ready?
