The Initial Consultation

Everyone is different and because of this therapy sessions need to be tailored very precisely to your individual needs.

At Aspire, we believe in providing the most effective and personalised support possible.

To help us do this, we carry out a very in-depth initial consultation session with each client, lasting up to one and a half hours.

The aims of the initial consultation are to:

• Gather as much information as possible about you and the issues you would like to address.

• Agree on a specific outcome for your sessions, so that you can see the progress you are making.

• Set achievable goals that will make a real and lasting difference to your life.

• Give an indication of the likely length of your treatment.

• Provide an explanation of the way we work, and what the process involves.

• Answer any questions and discuss any concerns you may have.

Working together is a two-way process, and so the consultation is also an opportunity to discuss expectations and commitments – both what you can expect from Aspire Therapy and what we will expect from you.

The consultation will provide the foundation upon which your treatment strategy will be based and will determine the nature of your future sessions. This is why we place such a great emphasis on our initial meeting.
