When you meet with your psychologist, the first couple of sessions will be devoted to carrying out a thorough assessment of your concerns. Then, you and your psychologist will together agree on treatment goals and develop a plan for therapy. Your psychologist will explain the treatment method considered and obtain informed consent, prior to commencing treatment.
