Minute 10 to 35 of 50
What brought you
You talk. We ask short questions. Nobody is typing.
The longest part, and the part people dread. You do not have to start at the beginning or in order, and there is no correct amount of detail. If you cry we will not stop you or comfort you out of it.
Nothing is written during this. The note is written in the ten minutes after you leave, and it is short.
The rest of the hour
In the order it happens
Five pieces, and the longest is the one where you talk and nobody types.
0–5 min
Getting in
Up the stairs, first door on the left. Nobody is sitting at a desk.
5–10 min
The one form
One side of A4, filled in with your counsellor rather than at you.
10–35 min
What brought you
You talk. We ask short questions. Nobody is typing.
35–45 min
What we would do
The plan, the number of sessions, and the fee at your band, out loud.
45–50 min
Deciding, or not
Book, think about it, or say no in the room. All three are ordinary.
