Well, I will firstly want to get to know you.......... maybe a little about your past.......... a bit about what's concerning you............ what you would like to happen / change.......... and mostly giving you the chance to unload and share your fears, thoughts and concerns in a safe and secure environment.
What can you expect?
Depending upon your pace and abilities, I might suggest some exercises to carry out between sessions (only if that's OK with you), sometimes people benefit from practicing new routines and habits to get the improvements they want out of life.
NERVOUS? ANXIOUS? Being nervous about seeing a Psychologist for the first time is common. Despite the myths, Psychologists cannot read minds, we do not "judge" people BUT we DO want to empower you to be the person YOU want to be.
Depending on your symptoms GP's and Psychologists may work together (so it may be that a combination of prescription medicines from your Doctor and talking therapy from the Psychologist is recommended). Each person is different, and each person has a say in all aspects of treatment.
