-

When isn't this the right option?
-
If the problem has a long and complex history and multiple professionals have been involved before we probably won't be able to cover it all in one meeting
-
If you know you need/want therapy that I don't have availability to offer it might be better to do this with another psychologist who could go on to offer therapy
