| Comment | Usually the first session with a counsellor is where you agree how you'll work together. The counsellor will, or should, tell you about themselves - their background and approach; whether the sessions are open ended or limited to a certain number, and will also go through confidentiality (as others have mentioned) as well as any other ground rules for your sessions. You'll probably be asked what you hope counselling will help you with - are there any issues you'd particularly like to focus on.
It's to set the scene basically, the start of your working relationship together. |
