We understand that it can be quite nerve wracking and confronting to see a psychologist for the first time. It may feel a little awkward or uncomfortable at first, but Louise's number one priority is to make you feel as safe and as comfortable as possible.
Questions we ask may be about your life, your childhood, your current work situation, your family, relationships and your hobbies help Louise get to know you. We ask these questions to get a clearer picture of how you came to be you and what your therapy goals are.
