Your telephone assessments are an important first step that allow us to evaluate your current emotional wellbeing. It will also provide your therapist formulate your relationship difficulties from your perspectives, which will be discussed at your first session. This can also determine if there is another mental health concern that we would recommend individual treatment for before proceeding to Couple Therapy for Depression. With this in mind, if you are interested in Couple Therapy for Depression, we would encourage you to discuss timings with your partner to ensure you can both complete assessments at a similar time. If there is a gap of over 10 working days between the first assessment and your partner getting in touch with the service, we would offer the partner that has contacted the service individual therapy.
