What to Expect When You Start Counselling
Starting counselling can be a powerful and rewarding experience, but it’s also important to know that it can sometimes be emotionally intense. In your first few sessions, you’ll begin building a trusting relationship with me, exploring what’s brought you in and setting some goals together.
These conversations often bring up deep thoughts and feelings, so it’s a good idea to give yourself some time and space after each session to decompress. Whether it’s a quiet walk, journaling, or just some alone time, creating room to process can help you make the most of your counselling journey and take care of your emotional well-being along the way.
