Course of the first session

FIRST CONTACT is essential, as it will allow the psychologist to understand the context and the problem. They will first try to understand what brings the person to the consultation. They will then analyse the request and propose a treatment approach, as well as support and accompany the person in this process of change.

On the PATIENT’S SIDE, this is an opportunity to check that the chosen psychologist is suitable. Indeed, it is essential to feel confident and be able to speak freely. The psychologist’s listening skills and empathy will help the patient to better understand their difficulties and the way they function.
