First Phone Contact

Therapists are usually reluctant to take phone calls when they are in session and you should be prepared to leave a message if necessary. If you hear a recorded message, please leave your contact details slowly and clearly, and repeat your phone number. The therapist will return your call as quickly as possible. Phone messages can always be left with assurance of confidentiality.

More Than One Choice

When there is more than one ASTA member in your local area, you may wish to speak with several and then consult with the one with whom you feel most comfortable. ASTA members are happy to cross-refer to professional colleagues, as the clients needs are regarded as paramount.

Making Appointments

Once you have spoken to a therapist with whom you feel comfortable, s/he  will provide all the information you require in relation to your appointment.
