Stepping into your first counselling session can be a daunting experience.
If you’ve never had counselling before, it’s natural to feel scares about what lies ahead. That’s why I wanted to write this introduction, to help ease your mind and give you a clear idea of what to expect during your initial session.
Counselling: A Safe Space, Not a Quick Fix
One of the first things to understand about counselling is that it’s not about receiving advice or being told what to do. I won’t wave a magic wand to make everything better instantly. Instead, counselling is a collaborative process that requires dedication and active participation from you, the client. This means attending sessions regularly and being open to some of the suggestions I may offer for you to reflect on throughout the week.
My role as your counsellor is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. This is your space, your time, and your session—designed to place your needs at the forefront.
Testimonial
‘I’ve been attending counselling sessions with Pooni for almost 18 months. During this time my wellbeing has really improved. Pooni is not only a compassionate listener but she has also helped me to understand and accept myself, enhanced my ability to cope with challenges, and enabled me to communicate better with the people in my life.’
