About Online Counselling Australia
If you’ve never seen a counsellor before, attending your first session might feel daunting or awkward, and that’s perfectly normal. Here’s what you can expect.
Feeling anxious or depressed yet apprehensive about starting counselling is understandable. Stepping into something new can raise fears, but don’t let them deter you from speaking with a counsellor.
Our goal is to make you comfortable from the start. Sharing your story with a stranger can be overwhelming, but rest assured that we create a safe, professional, and respectful environment.
Your privacy and confidentiality are important to us. If you’re unsure about how it works, just ask. At The Online Counselling Australia, we explain confidentiality before your first session.
It’s helpful to know that every counsellor is different, with various therapeutic approaches. It’s okay to ask questions about their methods and what to expect. The relationship between you and your therapist is crucial for your success, so feeling seen and heard is essential.
During your first session, you’ll get to know each other. Whether diving into core issues or proceeding more gently depends on your comfort. You don’t have to share your entire story; it’s always your choice. By the end of the session, you should feel understood and have a sense of where the counselling process is headed.
The counselling process is fluid, with a focus on your goals and facilitating growth to relieve and resolve your struggles.
