Your First Appointment

Taking the first step can feel like the hardest part

If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck for a while, it's completely natural to feel a little nervous before your first appointment. Many of my clients tell me that's exactly how they felt.

My aim is to make the whole experience as relaxed, welcoming and comfortable as possible from the moment you get in touch.

How do I find you?

My private practice is based at Globe House, Love Lane, Cirencester. I'll send clear directions before your appointment, and there's convenient parking nearby, so you don't need to worry about finding me.

What happens when I arrive?

You'll be welcomed into a calm, friendly and confidential space where you can relax and settle in before we begin.

We'll spend some time talking about what's been happening for you, what you'd like to achieve and how I can best help. Every session is tailored to you as an individual.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Not at all.

Some people arrive knowing exactly what they'd like help with. Others simply know they don't want to keep feeling the way they do anymore. Both are absolutely fine.

You don't need to prepare anything in advance or have all the answers.

Will I have to talk about everything?

No.

There is no judgement, no pressure and no expectation for you to discuss anything you're uncomfortable sharing.

You decide what you'd like to tell me, and we'll work at a pace that feels right for you.

Will I need to relive the past?

Many people worry about this.

One of the things clients often find reassuring is that it's not always necessary to revisit painful memories or relive difficult experiences in detail.

Instead, we can often focus on how the problem is affecting you now and help you move forward without dwelling on the past.

What if I get upset or emotional?

That's completely okay.

Many people become emotional during therapy, and there's absolutely no need to apologise. Emotions are a natural part of the healing process.

If you need a moment, we'll simply pause and continue when you're ready. We'll always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Am I in control?

Always.

You're in control throughout the entire session. My role is to guide and support you, never to push you into anything you're not comfortable with.

We'll work together to help you feel calmer, more confident and more in control of your life.

Can I choose Zoom instead?

Yes.

Appointments are available both face-to-face in Cirencester and online via Zoom, so you can choose whichever option suits you best.

Still not sure?

If you're wondering whether NLP is right for you, why not book a free 15-minute discovery call?

We can have a relaxed, no-obligation chat about what's been going on, answer any questions you may have and decide together whether I'm the right person to help.

A final thought...

You don't have to know exactly what you need before you get in touch.

If you're ready to explore how things could be different, I'd be delighted to help.

Sometimes, taking that first step is the beginning of a life-changing journey.
