For many people it is daunting to take the first steps to access psychological support. Before embarking on this important work, it is important to explore whether we would work well together. This will depend on the difficulties you are facing, my expertise in that area and your expectations for therapy. It will also be influenced by practical and financial matters, including whether you are free in the slots that I have free, and whether you have access to the financial means to sustain this work until we reach the goal that we agree for therapy.
Please familiarise yourself with all the details on the website and note any questions or concerns you may have, so that we can clarify these before we start working together.
Alternative options
If you prefer to work from another therapeutic perspective, you require a short-term intervention, or if any of the conditions laid out on the website do not work for you, you may feel more comfortable finding a different therapist, who may meet your expectations more easily.
You are welcome to have a look at the following online sites to find someone who meets your expectations more closely.

The next step
If you are happy with all the details, you can download the consent forms, complete and sign them. The consent to therapy form needs to be signed by all people participating in the therapy (i.e. both partners in a couple therapy; all members of a family in family therapy, including children over the age of 12). The consent for payment form needs to be signed by the person taking responsibility for payment and the main member of the medical aid.
Please email (info@newlandstherapycentre.co.za) the competed consent forms to me. You can also email me to ask for copies of the consent forms if you cannot download them. In the email, please indicate if you have any constraints regarding the times that you are free to be seen. I will take these into account when I offer you an initial assessment appointment.
