About

The first hour is deliberately low-key. You say as much or as little as you want, I ask what brought you now rather than requiring a full history, and nobody is asked to define themselves in order to qualify for the appointment. Some people spend that first session talking about sexual identity directly and others circle it for weeks, and both approaches work perfectly well. I will follow your lead on pace and on language, including which words you want used about you and which you would rather avoid. If I get something wrong, you can correct me and it will not be awkward. I returned to the room after a period in administration, and what I missed was exactly this kind of conversation. Policy documents do not do what an hour in a room does. If a low-key first conversation sounds manageable, get in touch.
