What can I expect from my first visit with a Counsellor?

At your initial appointment your counsellor will discuss your concerns and conduct a comprehensive initial assessment. Your counsellor will also talk to you about your goals and the relevant counselling treatments that can be applied to your situation for the most effective outcome. A plan may be made for future sessions including regular reviews and evaluations of progress.

Depending on your situation, your counsellor may also suggest and discuss some techniques and strategies that can be applied immediately to assist in dealing with any challenges you may be currently facing. In this first session, you can feel comfortable raising any questions or concerns you may have. Your initial session and all subsequent sessions will be just under one hour in duration.

How many Counselling sessions will I need?

The amount of sessions you need will vary depending on your situation, however on average a client will visit a counsellor for 6-12 sessions.
