This is an introductory session where the counsellor and client(s) get to know each other a little bit better. The counsellor will ask questions related to the client’s medical history and some background information. The session is structured in such a way that the main reason for seeking counselling is established while setting counselling goals for moving forward. This first session also affords the client the opportunity to assess whether the style and personality of the counsellor is best suited for them, as the counselling journey is a personal one.
