Making the most of your free psychotherapy consultation

Taking the first step towards seeking therapy can be daunting. You've identified that you're struggling and need support, but the prospect of finding the right therapist and opening up to a stranger can feel overwhelming. Many therapists offer a free initial consultation, often a 15-20 minute phone or video call, to help you navigate this process. While it may seem like a brief, informal chat, this consultation is a valuable opportunity. Approaching it with intention can set you up for a successful therapeutic journey.
