Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if it is your first time. The idea of opening up to a stranger about your personal struggles can be intimidating, and you may have questions about what to expect during your first session. It is important to remember that counselling is a safe, confidential space where you will be supported as you work through your emotions, thoughts, and challenges. Here is what you can expect during your initial session with a counsellor and how it might help you on your path to healing and personal growth.

Seeking help from a counsellor can be a transformative experience, providing you with the tools and support needed to navigate life’s difficulties. Whether you are struggling with specific challenges or simply looking for a space to reflect and grow, a counsellor can offer the guidance, validation and understanding necessary to improve your mental and emotional well-being.
