Not all psychologists provide a free first session or 10-minute trial. It completely depends on the individual professional’s policy and working model. Some therapists offer a brief introductory call to understand concerns and check comfort level, while others begin directly with a paid session because assessment and therapeutic work start from the first meeting itself.
The number of sessions varies from person to person depending on the concern, severity, and therapy goals. A good psychologist will usually discuss an approximate plan after the initial assessment.
If budget is a concern, you can openly discuss fees, session frequency, or available packages before starting therapy.
