Counselling

For your counsellor, the first session is mainly about getting to know you and learning some background information about you. For you, it’s about getting comfortable talking to your counsellor and getting to know one another and setting goals for the counselling process.

After the first session, you will be asked if you would like to continue counselling, and at that time, you can book a follow-up appointment. It is best to stay with the same counsellor because you will have a relationship with them, and they will know you, your story, and the goals you have worked out together.

Your counsellor may use several therapeutic approaches to help you achieve your goals. Always feel free to ask your counsellor about their process or ask them any other questions as you continue counselling.

Depending on the counsellor’s qualifications, counsellors can help with various presenting concerns. It can help to meet with a counsellor for a few sessions to get a sense of their counselling style and to see if it is a good fit! It is always best to read counsellors’ Bios to get a sense of where their expertise lies and if they seem a good fit for you. You always have the right to choose a different counsellor.
