What the first session looks like
If this is your first time in therapy, it is normal not to know what to expect. Here is what it looks like, in practice.
First session
- 01
Before
You choose a session time directly in the calendar and get a confirmation by email.
The booking form asks for your name, email, a phone number (so I can reach you if something comes up) and how you heard about me. You do not have to write anything about why you are coming.
- 02
How long it lasts
An individual session lasts 60 minutes. A couples session lasts 90 minutes, and you both come to the first one.
- 03
What happens
You tell me what brings you here, at your own pace. I ask questions to understand the situation, your life right now and what you would like to change.
Towards the end I tell you how I see things and how we could work. Then you decide whether you want to continue. Nothing commits you after the first session.
- 04
What to bring
Nothing special. You do not need to prepare anything or know exactly what to say. You bring yourself, and I will bring the tools.
- 05
Confidentiality
What we discuss stays between us. The only exceptions are those set by law, for example a serious danger to your life or someone else’s.
- 06
Payment and cancellation
You pay by bank transfer or by card, online.
If you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance, there is no charge. If you cancel less than 24 hours before, the session is paid in full.

Other questions
Can I ask you something before the first session?
Yes, you can email me about scheduling, prices or how I work. What brings you to therapy, though, is something we talk about in the first session, where there is the time and calm it needs.
What if I need to cancel?
If you cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance, there is no charge. If you cancel less than 24 hours before, the session is paid in full, because that hour stays reserved for you.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer or by card, online. Clients living outside Romania can pay in euros.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what brings you and what you want to change. I cannot promise a number of sessions, but we can talk openly about it from the start and review together, regularly, how it is going.
First step
Let's meet
You choose a time directly in the calendar, in person or online. The first session is also when we get to know each other and see together how we could work. If you have questions before, you can email me.
