Our Journey Together.png

We will continuously monitor how well we are doing for you, ask for your feedback and integrate it in the work we do.

The Process:
A Structured and Collaborative Approach

Our work together follows a structured and intentional process, even if at times the structure may not feel immediately visible. This is particularly true in the early stages, where much of the work involves getting to know how you think, how you process information, and what support will be most helpful to you.

​

We understand that not everyone finds it easy to reflect on their own thoughts or to talk about their internal experience. You don’t need to have the words for everything — part of our role is to help you find them, or to work in ways that don’t always rely on language alone. From the very first contact, we guide the process carefully, offering clarity, predictability, and a shared sense of purpose.

​

Before the first appointment, we exchange information and ensure you have what you need to make an informed decision about whether we are the right fit. Our goal at this stage is to establish whether we can offer meaningful support, and to set the groundwork for what comes next.
