Before any treatment can begin, we will do a consultation to find out your needs and expectations. This consultation serves as a fact-finding mission for both parties. We will discuss your medical history, whether there are any contra-indications to treatment and the client’s reasons for choosing a particular treatment. In some cases I may need to contact your GP for permission to treat you, I will not do this without your permission. As the first contact between therapist and client, the consultation also helps to establish a professional relationship. All information given will be held in the strictest confidence. All questions asked are to ensure your safety and the appropriateness of treatment.
