Individual counseling offers a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Expect to work collaboratively with a trained professional to set goals, gain insights, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive change. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and concerns, providing support and guidance as you navigate challenges and discover new ways to thrive.

 

In your first session, you can expect your therapist to ask questions to get to know you better, such as about your background, reasons for seeking counseling and what you hope to achieve. They’ll also explain confidentiality and the counseling process. This will be done using an intake assessment. It’s a chance for you to discuss your concerns and goals while beginning to build a trusting relationship with your therapist.

 

Your follow-up sessions will likely involve a discussion about how you’ve been since your last session. You might explore any progress or setbacks, delve into any challenges you’ve faced, and work together to continue addressing your goals and concerns. It’s also a time to revisit any strategies or techniques discussed previously and to explore new approaches if needed.
