Initial Assessment Session

An opportunity to assess your needs and wants

After you contact us and decide you want to book an appointment for couple counselling we will invite you for an initial assessment session as soon as possible.  During the assessment we will gather the relevant information to ensure your couple counselling experience is effective and that the couple counsellor has all the information needed to structure the sessions for you.

The assessment will take place online or in our consulting room near Charing cross.

During your assessment session we will ask you lots of questions to :

  • Establish an overall view of your relationship and the challenges that have brought you to us
  • Examine what you want to achieve with your counselling
  • Explore the reasons why you individually feel that your relationship is no longer working
  • Method and timing of the sessions
  • Suitability for couple counselling at this stage
  • Allow you to get a feel for working together
  • Encourage you to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have about the couple’s counselling process
  • Help the couple counsellor to build the support plan which may include directed reading, worksheets and work to do at home between sessions.
  • Discuss the practicalities of your counselling journey, including the number and length of the sessions you will require and your availability

I found Florence a fantastic support during a difficult time. Her straightforward approach was exactly what I needed to gain a greater clarity and perspective on the situation and provided me with a space to work out my next steps. I wouldn't have believed beforehand how helpful the counselling could have been. It was a real lifesaver and Florence is brilliant.
