Hello.

Great news that you are starting some counselling.

I've had so many different therapists I lose track! But all in all they tend to start with an informal assessment session. So it's just a chat really, about you and your life.

Counsellors do vary according to their psychological approach, and also themselves, but I would expect your first session will be more assessment than counselling.

Hope that helps :) xxx

Hiya, yes I had it on monday and it was great. Had an informal chat and had to fill a questionnaire in. I was diagonosed with post traumatic stress disorder. If you go my post I posted on monday evening called "Finally an answer!!!!" I detail in that wat the whole story was. Its such a relief to finally have a reason for all this and I have to say I have felt a hell of a lot better since monday, I think once you know wat yor dealing with then u can get your head around it. Thanks for asking, it means alot tracey x :)
