What happens next?

You've decided that you want to choose positive change.

What happens next?

1. Phone The Water Lane Clinic on 01625 252 475 and talk in confidence to a receptionist to book an appointment with one of our counsellors. This could be for a full session or for a free 20 minute chat depending upon whether the counsellor offers this option.

Evening appointments are available if work or other commitments make it difficult to meet during the daytime.

2. Meet your counsellor in their room in The Water Lane Clinic. The first session is usually spent going over ground rules concerning fees, confidentiality, and other practical matters. It is also an opportunity to discuss your needs and decide whether you want to work together.

You can then begin to discuss the changes you wish to make in therapy.

3. Should you decide you wish to continue to work with the counsellor then they will book you in for your next session at the end of the first one. You can block-book several sessions in advance if you wish, in order to ensure you get the times and dates that you suit you.

You can then make cancellations or booking through either the receptionists or the counsellor.
