In the first session, my goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable to begin sharing your story. I take time to introduce myself, explain my approach as an integrative counsellor, and outline how we might work together in a way that aligns with your needs. Together, we’ll discuss confidentiality, set boundaries around our sessions, and explore what has brought you to therapy at this moment in your life. This session is an invitation for you to share at your own pace, allowing us to begin forming a therapeutic partnership based on trust, empathy, and understanding.

​

During our conversation, I’ll listen carefully to your goals, whether they involve addressing a specific issue, working through complex feelings, or seeking personal growth. We’ll collaboratively explore what you hope to gain from our sessions, providing clarity and structure to the process ahead. By the end of this initial session, my aim is for you to feel supported, informed, and hopeful about your journey in therapy, knowing that you have a safe space to navigate whatever challenges or questions may arise.
