the first session: what to expect

Whether you're a counselling newbie or an old pro, the first session with a new counsellor can feel overwhelming. Here is an idea of what to expect in a consultation or first full session.

1) An explanation of my counselling approach
2) A chance to ask any questions you might have about me, my approach, or about counselling in general
3) A conversation about your counselling goals and current coping strategies
4) An opportunity to familiarize yourself with the office space
