What should I expect from my first session?

Every psychologist in Table View has their own process and it usually depends on the kind of therapy that they offer. This is the general process of the first session: -Complete forms and paperwork that require you to consent to the services, approve of the terms and conditions and provide personal details. This is a brief process and it shouldn’t take up too much of your time. -If you have been referred by a GP, psychiatrist or specialist in Table View, the psychologist will discuss the details of your referral and mental health treatment plan. -The therapist will listen to your concerns and try to explore relevant background history. For example, they will try to learn about your family, social relationships, work history and any counselling that you might have done in the past. -Based on your background history, they will help you to understand more about what might be triggering your current issues.
