How Counselling Works

First Session

In your first session, we explain how counselling works including the role of the client and the counsellor. We listen to your story and establish goals for the intervention and we begin working on your issues.

Client Sessions

The frequency of sessions is determined by the counsellor and the client. In these sessions we will be working on achieving the goals for the intervention. You will have homework assignments to complete.

Conclusion

As we accomplish the goals for intervention we establish the date for our last session. In this session we review and affirm the progress made, discuss your feelings about termination and your next steps in having a more fulfilling life.
