During our first session I will make sure to start building a therapeutic relationship by showing empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard.
I will begin explaining the counseling process, confidentiality, and what the client can expect from sessions. I will ask about history, including the main reason they are seeking counseling now, along with identifying goals for therapy based on client’s needs and input such as what do they hope to achieve in therapy to provide support.
