What To Expect
Appointments with your psychologist will last between 50-55 minutes. Appointments start on time, so it is important you arrive promptly to gain the most from this work.
Many people arrive for counselling with a great deal of apprehension. It may feel uncomfortable initially to share your personal self with a stranger. Developing a trusting therapeutic relationship with a non-judgmental and confidential psychologist is important to your progress in counselling. Most people report that early uneasiness about attending for counselling or therapy abates quickly because the work is helpful and safe.
In the first few sessions, your psychologist will assist you to outline your difficulty and identify your goals. She/he will guide and explore with you how the counselling or therapy will proceed and what you can expect.
