Initial Consultations for Counselling
Our 60 minute pressure-free informal chat to discuss how we might be able to help
How Can We Help?
We currently offer all prospective clients a low cost (£30) initial consultation to discuss mental health problems prior to commencing any treatment plans.
Initial consultations are client-led and do not include any therapeutic work.
During this consultation we will discuss the different psychological therapies that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.
At Tranceform Psychology we recognise the importance of the therapy relationship in helping people to bring about effective change, so its important to be able to discuss any therapy treatments BEFORE proceeding.
Our policy is to help people make a fully balanced & considered decision about undertaking work with us, including both the financial and personal implications.
Booking on behalf of someone else
Initial consultations at Tranceform Psychology are client-led and voluntary. For this reason, consultations must be booked by the person who is seeking support, rather than by a partner, family member, or third party.
While it’s understandable to be concerned about someone you care about, psychological work is most effective when the individual chooses to engage in it themselves. I’m not able to assess, advise, or provide support based on third-party accounts, nor can I work towards goals set by someone who is not present.
If you’re worried about another person, the most helpful step is often to encourage them to make contact directly when they feel ready. Where appropriate, relationship or couples therapy may also be a better starting point.

Paying for your initial consultation
Only pay for your initial consultation once it has been arranged with your chosen therapist.
Your appointment in the clinic schedule will NOT be firm until you have secured the time slot by paying the fee.
