This is a good opportunity for you to ask questions about your psychologist's style of therapy and how they work. Before your first appointment, the Client Support team will match you with a registered psychologist whose experience and style best fit your needs, and will provide you with all necessary information including your appointment time, location, and psychologist's details. Along the way, your psychologist will check in with you about how the treatment is tracking and whether you need more or less emphasis on particular areas.
