Before booking a session with a specialist, send this mini-questionnaire in your first message. A good pro will answer with pleasure — and you'll avoid unpleasant surprises.
- What is your main therapeutic approach?
- How many sessions on average for an issue like mine?
- What's your rate and cancellation policy?
- Do you offer in-person, video, or both?
- Are you registered on the official professional list (ADELI, HCPC, etc.)?
- Do you have regular clinical supervision?
- What do you do if we get stuck on a topic?
- Are evenings or weekends possible?
- Is there a delay before the first available session?
- How do you handle communication between sessions (SMS, email)?
