FREE CONSULTATION AND FIRST SESSION
NOTE: For those who have found me through the Grow Your Relationship couple's support platform, I do things differently. So, refer to that website for the guidelines for consultation and first sessions. Here is a link to their website: https://growmyrelationship.com/
The free, no obligation consultation is almost always a phone call.
If this is a couple or family situation (more than one person is to be coming to sessions), Bill usually has the consultation with each person—but at separate times. If there is a strong preference for meeting in person or over video, it is also possible to arrange that. A phone call is simpler and works well for 98% of clients.
The basic idea for the consultation is for Bill to assess your situation, for you to get your questions answered, and for each of us to assess if we’re a good match to work together. Bill allots up to a total of 30 minutes of free time—whether that be time via phone or e-mail, or in person.
The consultation is not a place to vent all your concerns and complaints. Although most people have a need to get some things off their chest, there is time for that in our sessions. The consultation is about gathering some facts and answering questions.
Most first sessions are at a reduced rate to make it easier to get started. Further, with a couple or a family, after the consultation, Bill almost always meets with each person for an individual first session. Having initial individual sessions are atypical for couple's work, however these Initial individual sessions support the couple or family sessions in going quicker and smoother. It also gives Bill the opportunity to get to know each person more fully without trying to get to know 2 new people at once.
If we find we need more than 30 minutes total with all parties to discover if we’re a good match, Bill charges a reduced rate of $1 a minute for the extra time. Sometimes we may need an extra 30 minutes to an hour to assess what we’re going to be doing as a first step.
Towards the end of the consultation, Bill will explain the general range of fees. Fees are based on the complexity of your situation and whether more than one person is in session at the same time. After the initial individual sessions, Bill will be able to assess the complexity of your situation and will discuss the fees for your situation.
Bill’s work is unique and his results tend to be quicker than most. If you compare professionals primarily based on fees—not projected results and skill level—you may make a choice that doesn’t serve you.
All interactions in the consultation are strictly confidential. Anything that you don’t want Bill to pass on to the other persons who will be coming into session will be kept confidential. You decide when you’re ready to provide those communications.
Disclaimer, primarily for couples and families:
Although quick and dramatic results are common, some situations require a more methodical unraveling. For a better explanation of what one can expect and not expect, and to assess what situations might require more time, click on the link to read the document below.
