SCREEN ASSESSMENT

DURATION: 30 MINUTES
PRICE: £0.00

Perez Counselling and Psychotherapy Service needs to ascertain the impact your challenges are having on you in order to provide a service that meets you where you are. This is why partaking in our screening assessment is the first step. This is carried out over the phone and is different from the initial assessment process in that it is brief and time limited.

The screening assessment will place you in one of three categories of vulnerability, these being low, medium and high. This will  then determine how you are prioritised to be seen for your initial assessment.

​

INITIAL INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT

DURATION: 50 MINUTES
PRICE: £50.00

This is where we will meet again but face to face to discuss practical details. We will talk in depths about the principles Perez Counselling and Psychotherapy Service adheres to which is the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This ensures you are kept safe and at the heart of the work. We will also know what each other’s expectations are in the working relationship and you will get a sense of the trusted therapeutic atmosphere available to you. There will be the opportunity to share any experiences you may have had of counselling in the past and hear about the approaches used within this service to aid working with you. Time will be enough for questions about the service, and to bring what you are hoping to work through.

At this point you can either decide to continue the work and agree a time and day which is suitable.

Alternatively

You can go away with information in hand to read over and think about what was discussed. Our expectation is that you will either call back to arrange your Individual Therapy sessions, or to decline services at this time.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY SESSIONS

DURATION: 50 MINUTES
