One-page resource
The night before your first session
There is genuinely nothing you must prepare. But if having a small checklist makes starting easier, this one is enough — print it or save it as a PDF. The full walkthrough lives on the first-session page.
Worth arranging
- A private corner for the session — a closed door beats a perfect room
- Headphones, water, and your charger (for online sessions)
- Ten unhurried minutes before the start time, if you can manage it
Worth jotting down (optional)
- What's been hardest lately — one line is enough
- Roughly when it started, if you remember
- One thing you'd want to be different in three months
Safe to skip
- A rehearsed speech or the “right” vocabulary
- A diagnosis, referral, or medical records
- Deciding in advance whether you'll continue
Nervousness is welcome in the room — nearly everyone brings some.
