1st Session
You will be asked What are your present issues? Why now? The reasons for counselling.
Basically your story, in your words - just be yourself. No judgement.
This paves the way for going forward to future sessions on how you are going to meet our own goals.
We like to think 1st session is getting to know you and vice versa.
Also to establish we can work in a therapeutic connection.
We apply a 3 part model.
- What is your story
- How you going to get there. What do you want to be as the version of you at session One is not going to be the version of you at the end - This is our HOPE.
- Did we get there? this is like reflection. Anything further to work on E.g. relapses, and how are you feeling at this moment.

What is Integrative Counselling?
Unlike a Counsellor offering only one modality an Integrative Counsellor believes there isn’t just one therapeutic approach that can help a client in all situations.
Instead, I take into account you as an individual and your circumstances, and use elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems.
Therefore I can adapt to your needs by drawing on techniques from different types of therapy to Best match and tailor your needs & goals.
