What to expect.

I’m often told that the first session with a psychologist is stressful: people don’t know know what to expect or what they will be doing.
At Perform Psychology I want to make the process as easy as possible by letting you know exactly what to expect.

Before we start.

Get in Touch: The first step is getting in contact. You can call, text, or email me through the Contact tab on this website and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Phone Consultation: After you have made contact, I will call you for a telephone consultation. This is a free service for us to get a feel for each other, and to determine if I am the right fit for you. Set aside 30-minutes for this discussion. During this phone call we will talk through why you are considering working with a psychologist and what you would like to get out of the sessions. Rest assured that if I am not the right psychologist for your individual needs, I will help you find the person who is.

The first session.

The Perform Psychology office is based in the Physio 4 Athletes physiotherapy practice on St Kilda Road, Melbourne. It is professional space with a casual relaxed atmosphere, where I am sure you will be comfortable.

You will be greeted by me, or one of the friendly staff members, and there is a small waiting area. Working with a psychologist is nothing to be worried or embarrassed about, but for those who prefer discretion the psychology service is not advertised in the practice.

During your first session our conversation will focus on your life and who you are as a person. We will start with the parts of your life where you are already thriving and the skills and strengths you have developed along the way. Then we will dig a little deeper and go through the areas in your life you are looking to improve or manage.

What next.

After the first session, you will leave with a clear plan for the work we will be doing together. We will clarify your goals, and I will give you a recommendation of how many sessions we should start with.

The client is always in control of their treatment plan. The aim is for sustainable treatment solutions that empower you to be self-reliant and independent.
