If you're interested in trying psychotherapy, here's what to expect:

  • What to Expect: Your Journey with North London Therapy Practice

  • Psychotherapy and coaching are forms of talking therapy, where each session consists of an open and meaningful dialogue between you and your practitioner. These conversations are designed to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you work towards your personal goals and greater self-understanding.

  • ---

  • Establishing a Regular Routine
    Consistency is key in therapy. Together with your practitioner, you’ll aim to establish a recurring appointment time—usually on the same day and at the same time each week. This regular rhythm fosters continuity and stability in your therapeutic process.  

  • In some cases, you may decide to adjust the frequency of your sessions to meet your needs, whether that means more than once a week or a more flexible schedule. These decisions will be made collaboratively with your therapist or coach.

  • ​

  • Preparing for Your Sessions
    Before starting your sessions, you’ll need to:  
    1. **Complete Your Practitioner’s Contract**: This document outlines the terms of working together, collects relevant details about you, and ensures clarity for both parties.  
    2. **Arrange Payment**: Payment for each session must be made in advance of the appointment.  

  • Your practitioner will provide you with all the necessary information to make this process seamless.

  • ​

  • The Initial Appointment  
    Your first session is an opportunity to:  
    - Share what has brought you to therapy or coaching  
    - Discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns  
    - Decide on the number and type of sessions that suit you  

  • Together, you and your practitioner will determine whether a **time-limited arrangement** (e.g., a set number of sessions) or an open-ended approach** (allowing the work to evolve naturally) is most suitable. This plan will be shaped by your needs, goals, and circumstances.

  • ​

  • Your Commitment to the Process
    Therapy and coaching are collaborative efforts that require openness and consistency. By engaging in this process, you take an active step toward personal growth, healing, and transformation.  

  • We are here to support you every step of the way. If you have questions or need adjustments at any stage, your practitioner will work with you to ensure your experience remains aligned with your needs.
