View WhatClinicReviews are only one part of choosing a therapist.
Somebody else’s experience cannot tell you what your own therapy will feel like or whether a particular therapist will be the right fit for you.
The first appointment is a chance to talk about what has brought you to therapy, ask questions and get a sense of whether you feel comfortable continuing.
