Starting the process of seeing a psychologist can be challenging.
Please feel free to contact me if you want some direction on getting started with the process.
Contact your family / local GP to discuss gaining a Mental Health Care Plan
I suggest you contact one or two psychologist's and then decide who you feel comfortable with. Many psychologists will be happy to answer a few questions by email or phone prior to a first session. This can be a great way to make the process feel comfortable from the start.
Schedule appointment with your chosen psychologist
At initial appointment, discuss your expectations and goals of counselling.
