Free First Steps Call
A relaxed first conversation to see what support might feel helpful.
Service Description
This free 15-minute First Steps call gives us a chance to briefly meet before arranging sessions. It’s a relaxed space to talk a little about what has been going on for you, or your child, and get a feel for how I work. There’s no pressure to explain everything perfectly or share more than feels comfortable at this stage. The call is also a chance to see whether the support feels like the right fit for you. We can think together about practical things too, like availability, and whether online or in-person sessions would suit best. When working with children and young people, sessions may include play and creative approaches alongside talking. Children do not always find it easy to put feelings into words straight away, and play can often help them feel safer, more comfortable, and more able to express themselves naturally. The First Steps call takes place online. Ongoing counselling sessions can then be arranged online or in person in Cawdor, depending on what feels most suitable. Please note that appointment requests are subject to confirmation. This helps avoid double bookings and ensures I can offer the right space and time for each client.
Cancellation Policy
The Free First Steps Call is an informal introductory conversation and is not a counselling session or therapeutic intervention. The purpose of the call is to briefly meet, discuss what support may be helpful, answer any questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit for you or your child. The call should not be used for crisis support, emergency mental health support, or urgent safeguarding concerns. If immediate support is needed, please contact your GP, NHS 24, emergency services, or an appropriate crisis service. Appointment requests are subject to confirmation to reduce the risk of double bookings. For children and young people, a parent or carer may be asked to attend part or all of the introductory call. There is no obligation to continue into counselling sessions following the call.
