You'll have the chance to talk about your situation, your goals for therapy, and how the therapist works. 

It's normal to feel anxious. Therapists are trained to help you feel at ease creating a safe space for you. 

Many people worry about this, but it's rarely a problem. Therapists are skilled at helping you find ways to communicate that feel comfortable for you. 

The duration varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. 

Confidetiality is key because counselling is built on trust, and confidentiality is a core principle.

Note: Exceptions - There are legal and ethical exceptions, such as concerns for your safety or the safety of others, where confidentiality may need to be broken.
