What to Expect When You Start Counselling
Starting counselling can be a powerful and rewarding step, but it’s normal for the process to sometimes feel emotionally intense. In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on building a trusting relationship, exploring what has brought you here and setting some meaningful goals together.
Because these conversations can bring up deep thoughts and feelings, it’s helpful to give yourself some space afterwards to decompress. Whether that’s taking a quiet walk, journaling or simply pausing for a little time to yourself, creating room to process will support your wellbeing and help you make the most of your counselling journey.
