Book a Discovery Session

Choosing a therapist is personal. You can read a website, look at qualifications and get a sense of someone's approach, but none of that tells you what it will actually feel like to sit down and talk to them.

That's what the Discovery Session is for.

I offer a free 30-minute conversation before you decide whether you'd like to work with me. There is no expectation that you should arrive knowing exactly what's wrong, and you don't need to prepare anything beforehand.

We simply talk.

You can tell me a little about what's brought you here, ask anything you want to know about the way I work, and get a sense of whether you feel comfortable talking to me.

What can we talk about?

Anything that's relevant to your decision about therapy.

You might have a very clear reason for seeking support. You might be struggling with anxiety, relationships, work, identity or something happening around midlife. Or perhaps you're here for the much less specific reason that we've discussed elsewhere on this site:

Something doesn't feel right and you're not entirely sure why.

That's enough to begin a conversation.

I'll want to understand enough about what's happening to consider whether the kind of therapy I offer might be appropriate for you. Equally, I want you to have enough opportunity to get a feeling for me.

Therapy is a relationship. Whether you feel able to talk openly with the person sitting opposite you matters.

This isn't a sales call

I think this is worth saying plainly.

The Discovery Session isn't thirty minutes of me trying to persuade you to become a client.

You may decide afterwards that you'd like to work with me. You may want some time to think about it. You may decide I'm not the right therapist for you.

All three are perfectly acceptable outcomes.

It is much better for both of us to discover that before beginning therapy than several sessions afterwards.

It isn't a therapy session either

Thirty minutes isn't enough time to properly explore something difficult, and I don't want to pretend otherwise.

The Discovery Session is there to help us understand what has brought you to Wolf Path, talk about what you might be looking for, and consider whether working together makes sense.

If something you tell me suggests that your needs would be better supported elsewhere, I'll be honest about that too.

There is no psychological assessment hidden inside the conversation and no expectation that you disclose anything you aren't comfortable discussing.

We are simply establishing whether this feels like an appropriate place to begin.

Interested in Video Gaming Therapy?

You can also use the Discovery Session to talk to me about Video Gaming Therapy.

If the idea of conventional online therapy doesn't particularly appeal to you, but working together inside a private DayZ environment does, we can talk through how that works and whether it might suit you.

You don't need to decide between conventional online sessions and Video Gaming Therapy before contacting me.

We can discuss the options first.

What happens next?

If we both feel that working together makes sense, I'll explain the practical next steps.

And if you're uncertain, that's fine.

There is no commitment simply because we've spoken, and you don't need to make a decision during the call.

The purpose of Discovery is exactly what the name suggests:

to find out a little more before deciding what comes next.

Ready to have a conversation?

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You can start with whatever brought you here..
