If you are satisfied with the consultation and feel we are
the right person for you, we can discuss the next steps for your specific
state.
A care plan should connect your reasons for attending with the service being proposed. It should explain the focus of appointments, practical arrangements and when you will review whether the approach remains appropriate.
For psychotherapy, talk about your priorities and the proposed way of working. For acupuncture, ask about the specific purpose of treatment, precautions and how any response will be assessed. If more than one service is proposed, clarify the role and cost of each.
Your needs may develop over time. A review is an opportunity to discuss what feels useful, what remains difficult and whether the direction should change. You can ask questions or reconsider a proposed appointment schedule.
Let the practitioner know about changes in medicines, health or treatment elsewhere. Coordination with another professional should be discussed with you, including the information involved and any required consent.
