What happens...

I understand that reaching out and picking up the phone or sending that first email or text can feel like a daunting step, and I want it to be one which you feel leaves you feeling informed about the next steps available to you, whether that is at Sarah Barfield Counselling or somewhere else that can meet your needs.

Once I receive an initial enquiry, I will try my best to get back to you within the next 48 hours, meaning you have very little time to wait for support, as I know sitting on a waiting list can prove a huge deterrent in gaining support. We will then work together to find a convenient time for the both of us to book in a free, initial contact call, where I will do my best to answer any questions you might have about Sarah Barfield counselling, or therapy in general.

I will also ask a few brief questions to gain a better understanding of your situation, so that I can be confident of whether I am the right support service for you. We will also discuss the intended costs, frequency and modality of the counselling sessions. You can then choose whether to take some more time to decide if you want to come onboard or we can go ahead and schedule in your first session at on a day/time that works for you and your schedule.

Once we have agreed to move forward, I will send you a copy of my privacy and confidentiality statement, how to make payment 24hrs before session via BACS, and confirmation of your first booked appointment.

At the first session, we will go through a counselling agreement which sets out my policies for working with one another and I will gather some emergency contact details, but once this is completed the rest of the time will be used to get comfortable and start reflecting on what has brought you to therapy and how you've been feeling. Sessions thereafter will be booked on a week-to-week basis.

If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
