Discovery Session
A first conversation to understand what is happening, what you would like to change, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
What happens in a discovery session?
The work is shaped around what is happening for you rather than forcing you into a fixed programme. We might explore relationship difficulties, identity change, anxiety, abandonment fears, people pleasing, self-worth, boundaries, confidence, or the impact of earlier experiences on how you respond today. Together, we can identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck and begin working towards greater clarity, steadiness, and a stronger sense of self.
The discovery session is a chance for us to talk about what has brought you here and what you would like help with. You do not need to prepare anything or know exactly what kind of support you need. We can begin by looking at what is happening now, what feels difficult, and what you would like to be different. It also gives you an opportunity to get a feel for how I work and decide whether working together feels right for you.
What we might talk about
You might want to talk about a relationship, anxiety, identity change, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, self-worth, or simply the feeling that something in your life is no longer working. We may also look at how long the difficulty has been present, what seems to trigger it, and what you have already tried. There is no fixed agenda. The conversation is shaped around what feels most useful and important to you.
What you can expect
A calm, confidential conversation focused on what matters most to you.
Explain what has been happening without needing to have everything organised beforehand.
Things that help us understand the wider pattern rather than only the immediate problem.
An opportunity to see whether my approach feels right for you.
Space to ask anything you want to know about how I work.
A clearer sense of what the next step could be, without any pressure to continue.
What happens next?
By the end of the discovery session, we should have a clearer sense of what is happening, what you would like help with, and whether working together feels like the right next step. If it does, we can talk about how regular sessions might work and what would be most useful to focus on first. If you decide not to continue, that is completely fine. The purpose of the session is to help you make an informed choice, not to pressure you into anything.
Ready to talk?
If you are unsure whether therapy, counselling, or coaching is the right next step, the discovery session gives us a simple place to start. We can talk through what is happening and decide together what might be most helpful.
