What Can I Expect During the First Counselling Session?
During the first session you will have an opportunity to meet the counsellor and to talk about what
you are hoping to gain from counselling. This is also a good time to gain more information about
how the counsellor works, to ask any questions and for you both to decide whether to agree to a short number of counselling sessions which will be reviewed by you both before agreeing to any further sessions
