What should I expect during a free 15 minute consultation?
After completion of a consultation form a potential client is offered a 15 minute virtual consultation where you will learn about the therapist, their therapy style, their history and next steps. Therapist will ask you a few questions and you will be able to ask questions of the therapist.
