Making an
Appointment
If you
feel uneasy or
unsure about making an appointment with a therapist, here is a quick
- and, I hope, reassuring - guide in helping you make the first call.
- I will
answer
the call personally.
- If I am
with a
client, your call will go to my answerphone which will tell you that
I am unavailable. I am usually able to return your call
within a few
hours. Just leave your name and number and any special
instructions
e.g. convenient times for me to return your call.
- No one
but I
will listen to the message.
- When I
return
your call, if necessary you can put me on hold while you find a
private space to talk. If
you cannot speak at
that time (perhaps you are with friends or family or at work and
don't want them to know about counselling) it's ok to phone back at a
later time. The service is discreet and confidential.
- Our
conversation
need only be brief since location, fees and overview of the practice
are covered on the other pages of my site.
- Most
people
simply want to set up an appointment; however, you are free to
outline your problem and ask questions before making an appointment.
- I will
suggest
that we start with an initial session where you will get a sense of
how therapy can work for you and where you may begin to think about
what you expect from counselling.
- I can
usually
see people within a few days.
Finally
It
is useful for me to
know how you found my site and I do appreciate it if you are able to
volunteer this information.
I
look forward to
speaking with you soon.
Regards
Alan
