What can I expect from the first session?

First/assessment session is used for taking details, I will ask what has brought you to counselling and the problems you are having. In the first session you may feel nervous, as I am new to you, but hopefully you will soon feel at ease and feel more comfortable.

What sort of problems can counselling help with?

Counselling can help with many issues and challenges and the main ones I deal with are feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, loss, confusion, personality disorders, ADHD, addictions, narcissism, relationship problems, low self esteem and lacking in confidence,

How do I get the best out of my sessions?

Engaging in therapy and with the therapist, being as open and honest as you possibly can, will give counselling the best possible chance of success. Growth and self-development is key to finding a way though what you are experiencing and my job is to keep you on track in the direction of finding the answers you need, whatever the presenting problems are.
