What to Expect in Your First Counselling Session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what has brought you to therapy. I understand that starting counselling can feel a little nerve-wracking, so my aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible in a calm, supportive, and confidential space.

​

What Will Happen in the First Session?

• A Chance to Share Your Story – We’ll begin by talking about what has led you to seek counselling and what you hope to gain from it. There’s no pressure to go into deep detail—this session is about getting a sense of what’s important to you.

• A Brief Assessment – I’ll ask some gentle questions about your current challenges, emotional wellbeing, and any key life experiences that might be relevant. This helps me understand how best to support you.

• Exploring How We’ll Work Together – I’ll explain how counselling works, the approach I use, and answer any questions you might have. We’ll also talk about practical details like confidentiality, session structure, and frequency.

• A No-Pressure Environment – The first session isn’t about solving everything at once—it’s a space for us to get a feel for working together and decide if counselling feels right for you. You’re free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

What Happens Next?

By the end of the session, we can decide if we’d like to continue working together. If you choose to proceed, we’ll agree on a plan for ongoing sessions based on what feels right for you.

​

I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you’d like to ask any questions before booking your first session. Feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you.
