What to Expect

Therapy shouldn’t feel intimidating. Here’s how it works at 7 Psychology.

Before your first session

Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive an email confirmation. You will then receive a text reminder 48 hours before the session, requiring you to confirm if you will be attending or not.

Getting here

7 Psychology is upstairs in the Forbes Footwear building in central Hornsby, a few minutes walk from Hornsby Train Station. Parking is available on William Street, in the Hornsby RSL carpark, or in the Hornsby Council carpark opposite.

Your first session

The first session is about getting to know you and understanding what brought you in. Expect a warm welcome, and time to talk openly. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out, that’s what we’re here to help with.

By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of what’s happening, and an idea of how to work together from here.

After your first session

Most clients book a follow-up before they leave, though there’s no obligation to commit to a set number of sessions. Frequency is usually weekly or fortnightly to start, and we adjust based on what’s useful for you.

Between sessions

You might be given something to reflect on, try, or notice between sessions. Nothing too difficult, just small things that help the work continue outside the room.

If it isn’t the right fit

If therapy isn’t working for you, or you’d prefer to see someone else, please say so. Good therapy depends on the right fit, and we’d rather help you find it than hold you to something that isn’t working.
