Consultation

This consultation appointment will give you a chance to meet with the therapist, help to define what the issues are, and decide whether therapy is the right course of action for you at this time. If, together with the therapist, you decide to proceed, you will be offered a series of mutually agreed appointments.

The medical consultation is best understood as a two-way social interaction. In a typical consultation the doctor elicits information from the patient, then offers a diagnosis or opinion and may also discuss and offer treatment.
