Booking your first counselling session can feel uncomfortable. You may wonder, “What will I say?” or “Will I be judged?”
Your first session is simply an opportunity to talk. Your counsellor may ask what brought you to counselling, what you have been experiencing and what you hope will change. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive.
Counselling should provide a space where you can speak honestly about your emotions, relationships, grief, family challenges or other concerns without pretending everything is fine.
If you are looking for counselling in Lagos or prefer online counselling, Emike Oyemade provides counselling support for individuals, couples, parents and teenagers.
Sometimes the first step is simply saying, “I need someone to talk to.”
