What will my first counselling session consist of?
Your counsellor will introduce herself and have a brief discussion with you regarding informed consent as well as any questions she may have regarding the information you provided on the intake form. You will get to know one another and discuss your presenting concerns as well as your goals for counselling. Collaboratively you and your counsellor will decide if she is a good fit for you. Each initial session will be tailored to meet your individual needs.
