Your psychotherapy intake assessment has the aim of hearing more about what brings you to therapy now- it may include discussing early experience that you think is particularly helpful for me to know, or it might have more of a focus on the here and now or a specific triggering event. This is by no means an exhaustive assessment as assessing is an ongoing process throughout your therapy journey which is interwoven with treatment to ensure we are on the right tracks to help you reach your therapy goals and are focussing on what is important for you. There is absolutely no expectation to cover everything in this one session, it is more to make a start at your own pace and to begin to establish the rhythm of your therapy, consider some possible therapy goals and help you to feel at ease.
