What happens in the first counselling session?

Great, you've booked! So what happens now?

The first session is your chance to meet the counsellor and ask any questions. You can do this alone, or with your child present. Once you’ve done this and your child is happy and settled with the counsellor, please leave them to access the session privately. Alternatively, if you feel it’s not necessary to meet the counsellor first and your child is happy to access the session independently, simply help them to log-in and leave them to it. 

Our highly-skilled counsellors will spend the session building rapport with your child, so they feel comfortable enough to open up about their feelings. The counsellor will usually carry out an assessment questionnaire in this session, in order to learn more about your child’s difficulties. Following the first session the counsellor will confirm whether our service is suitable for your child, and suggest how many sessions would be appropriate.
