Consultation is the first and necessary step before making a decision about psychotherapy. Usually, these are several meetings during which the psychotherapist gets acquainted with the patient’s personal difficulties.

Psychological diagnosis
Psychological diagnosis is a service performed by a psychologist-diagnostician, which aims to determine how the patient functions and what kind of help he needs (psychological support, psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation).
