Bereavement counselling

[gingerhobo48]

Hi, has anyone had a half-hour assessment over the phone by a therapist before? I have one booked in for a couple of weeks time.I'm just feeling a bit nervous, I thought the initial appointment would have been face-to-face.Just wondering what it might entail, thanks.

Thought I would respond but don't think I'm of much help. I haven't had this but also would have thought it would be face to face.

I worry that the assessment may bring up such deep feelings for the person bring assessed that an individual can't read this over the phone necessarily and then maybe can't put in place the correct measures.
