Your Consultation

What to expect?

Your initial consultation is designed to gain a comprehensive understanding of who you are as an individual, whether you are seeking support for physical discomfort, emotional challenges, or a combination of both. This is an opportunity to explore your concerns in detail and to develop a tailored plan that aligns with your goals, whether those are related to pain relief, emotional well-being, or holistic recovery.

The consultation involves gathering a detailed case history, which may include questions about your medical health, lifestyle habits, emotional well-being, and any psychological or physical factors that might be contributing to your current difficulties. This holistic approach ensures that your care is fully personalised to address the underlying causes of your symptoms, as well as the broader factors maintaining them.

For those seeking osteopathic treatment, the consultation may involve non-invasive medical assessments, such as blood pressure, pulse rate, reflex testing, or specialist orthopaedic assessments to inform your management plan. If you are seeking psychological therapy, the consultation will focus on exploring emotional patterns, behaviours, and relationships, helping to create a space for understanding, reflection, and change.

At the end of the consultation, we will discuss a clear and collaborative management plan, ensuring that both client and clinician are aligned on treatment goals. Whether the focus is physical, emotional, or integrative care, this plan will guide your journey toward recovery and well-being.

What to Bring

• For osteopathic appointments, please bring any relevant medical notes, letters, or scan reports (e.g., MRI/CT/X-ray), as well as details of any medications.

• For psychological therapy, there’s no need to bring anything specific—just come as you are, and we will work collaboratively to begin addressing your concerns.

What to Wear

• For osteopathic sessions, you may need to expose the part of your body experiencing pain or discomfort, as well as related areas. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, such as shorts or loose-fitting garments, to facilitate a thorough assessment and treatment. Towels are available to ensure your comfort and modesty throughout.

• For psychological therapy, simply wear whatever you feel comfortable in—there are no special requirements.
