Ok, so I just started to see a new T. He has a private practise and I pay by myself, no public health care or insurance or whatever.

When I came there the first time he had no idea of who i am or what my problems are, but for two sessions we talked about my life and what my biggest issues are.

But realizing now that is not his main focus/expertise as a T. And I dont know how it works with a T in private practise.

I want to see him again, to start building a more long term relationship but can I just assume I am "allowed" to do that or should I ask him if he WANTS to work with me and if he thinks he can help me? How should i bring this up in our next session?

I'd be grateful for any type of input. And sorry for my horrible English.
