Your Initial Face-to-Face Counselling Session
This article looks at what to expect in an initial counselling session. Of course, we're all unique as humans (thank goodness!) and every counselling session is unique. That said, in any initial counselling session, there are common themes and points of discussion. Having a sense of what to expect from your first session can help to ease any nerves or apprehension about the process. Here, we focus specifically on what to expect when accessing counselling with myself - Claire Law - at Free to Be Counselling, Preston.
