The first step
The initial assessment is your first step to accessing affordable therapy with Hammock.
Meet with one of our licensed therapists or clinical supervisors in a confidential, flexible session. Our experienced assessors will understand your needs. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships challenges, or life transitions, and fast match you with the right counsellor.
This is also your chance to ask questions about our accessible online therapy service.
The initial assessment lasts around 45-60 minutes and costs £45.
It will take place either online or via telephone.
What will the initial assessment cover?
As well as gaining some insight to your life story, these are some questions we may also ask you:
- How are you generally feeling at the moment?
- How are you coping with day to day activities?
- Have you had therapy before? If so, what did you find useful/unhelpful?
- Do you have any history of suicidal thoughts and/or self harm?
- Do you have any psychiatric in-patient history?
- Do you have any current and historical addictions?
- Were you in the care system as a child?
- Is there anything that makes you a vulnerable adult?
- Are you on any medication?
- Have you had recent thoughts of harming yourself?
- What do you hope to get from counselling?
- Do you have any preferences, e.g. regarding your counsellor’s gender, sexual orientation?
- On which days and at what times are you available for counselling?
What if I don’t want to talk about certain things?
It is useful if you can be as open as possible to help us determine the suitability of our service. However, it’s important that you feel in control. Therefore, what you choose to talk about, or not, is completely up to you.
You are welcome to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have.
It may be that, during your initial assessment, your assessor feels that an alternative service is better suited to meet your needs. If this is the case, your assessor will help signpost you to find a more suitable counsellor or service outside of Hammock, who will be able to work with you.
