Your First Therapy Session: What to Expect

The decision is behind you. What now?

Booking your first therapy session is a step that many people take weeks to make. If you've already done it, you can be proud of yourself.

What is the first consultation?

The first meeting with a psychotherapist is, above all, a conversation. Not a test, not an exam, not a judgement. The therapist wants to get to know you and understand what brought you here.

How to prepare?

You don't need to prepare in any special way. You don't need a list of problems or a perfect narrative. Just come as you are.

After the first session

Many patients say they feel relief after the first session because they finally said out loud what they'd been carrying inside.
