What to Expect in Your Assessment.

At the start of your journey, the assessment is a crucial step in understanding your needs. We aim to be thorough, gathering as much information as possible to tailor support to you. Here's what to expect:

​

Current Challenges: I'll discuss the difficulties you're facing and how they impact your day-to-day life.
Relationships: Understanding your relationships with family, friends, and partners helps us gain a fuller picture.
Family History: We may explore family dynamics and any relevant history that could affect your well-being.
Work and Lifestyle: Your professional life and lifestyle will be considered, as they can play a role in stress or mental health challenges.
Medication and Health: I'll review any medications you're currently taking, along with your physical and mental health history.
Mental Health Diagnoses: If you have any past or current mental health diagnoses, we’ll take them into account to offer the most appropriate care.
Risk and Safeguarding: This helps our team provide the right support and match you with the best counsellor, especially for managing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

​

This comprehensive approach ensures we understand your situation fully, allowing us to offer the most effective support tailored to your needs.
