For your first appointment, you will need to arrive a few minutes early and complete some standard forms. Your counsellor will then invite you into his or her office for a private consultation. You’ll have the chance to talk about what’s on your mind and explain what you want the counselling sessions to accomplish.  The counsellor will ask you a variety of questions to get a better understanding of your situation in an effort to ensure your counselling experience is tailored to fit your needs.   You and your counsellor will work together collaboratively to identify some goals and strategies to address your identified challenges.
