Your First Session

I know that entering a new space when you are overwhelmed can be daunting – I remember walking into my first ever counselling session with no idea what to expect, or what was going to happen. I was met with an emotionally detached and distant person who showed no compassion for the hurt and distress that I was visibly displaying. With that very session in mind, I vowed to myself that I would never be that kind of therapist. You will be met with kindness and consideration, and although there is some discomfort that comes with counselling, it will be delivered and held as gently as possible. I want to assure you that I see you, and I am here for you.

Our first session will be a little longer than the usual 1-hour sessions, as we need some time to get to know each other, then we can dive into unpacking and exploring what brought you here. For this reason, our first session will be 1.5 hours long and will be the same cost as our following hour-long sessions.
