A counselling session lasts fifty minutes. Our first session is really important, since we are going to know each other and to talk about what brought you to see me. You will ask me questions and explain what you expect from the therapy. Hopefully you will leave with a sense of whether you wish to continue to work with me. If we both feel comfortable to work together, then we’ll make arrangements for the next sessions. We will regularly review the goals towards which we work and agree on the best way forward.
