Session Number One

It's easy to get into a panic about the first session--what if it 'goes wrong', or I can't think ofanything to say? But don't worry, you've got this.

The First Conversation

The phone rings, and your imagination's in overdrive. Don't worry, that's normal; everybody feels just as terrified about this upcoming call as you. But then the counsellor picks up, and you know what? They're not all that bad.

Getting in Touch

Contacting a counsellor for the first time can actually be quite difficult. Here, I go through some of the reasons why, and encourage you to take the leap and give it a go.
