CBT ASSESSMENT

Your CBT assessment session will be for 60 – 75 minutes. I will take a detailed history of the problem as well as asking for information about how it is affecting you currently. I will check your suitability for treatment and will ensure you are fully informed about what treatment involves before you commit to a block of treatment sessions.

Obviously there can be no guarantee of treatment success in any talking therapy. I will agree to work with people where I think there is a good likelihood of significant improvement. If I think that there are factors that may limit the likelihood of improvement I will inform you of this.

At assessment we will set out the goals that you want to achieve and agree upon a realistic number of sessions to book in. If progress is faster or slower than expected sessions can be cancelled or added in as needed.

The fee for assessment will be the same as for treatment sessions (60 mins). Please contact me for information about current fees.

Successful treatment is very dependent upon a good working relationship between therapist and client. Therefore, at the conclusion of the assessment, if either of us decide not to proceed I do not charge for my time.
