Counselling FAQ · Northcote
What happens in a first counselling session?
You do not need a polished explanation or the perfect place to begin.
The first conversation
Bring what you know—and what you do not.
A first counselling session offers time to talk about what brings you, what feels important and what you hope might become different.
Rachel may ask about the wider context, what you have tried, what supports you and what helps you feel safe enough to work. You can ask questions and set limits.
The session may include counselling only. Hypnotherapy or a creative approach is introduced only when it fits, has been discussed and has your agreement.
