What is counselling and how does it work?

Coming to counselling for the first time can feel daunting—I understand that. You might wonder, “What will I talk about? Will I be judged? Will this even help?” These are very common concerns. It’s natural to feel nervous about opening up to someone you’ve never met. But in our sessions, there’s no pressure to have all the answers or know exactly where to start. The most important thing is showing up and being open to the process.

Our first session will be about getting to know each other. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. We’ll talk about what’s going on for you and what you hope to achieve through counselling. My role is to listen, to help you untangle your thoughts, and to support you in making sense of how you’re feeling. Whether you’re dealing with feelings of being stuck, anxious, or unsure of your next steps, counselling can be a valuable tool in helping you find your way forward.
