Taking the first step is probably the hardest part of starting counselling/therapy. 

 

All sorts of fears may arise when you are considering taking the first step. 

​

These could be .......

​

• "I operate well on the surface, do I really want someone to know what goes on underneath?"

​

• "I don't really know what I want to explore in counselling."

​

• "I feel scared at the prospect of sitting in a room on a one to one basis with someone I don't know". 

 

• "If I open up now, how will I cope?"

​

It is normal to feel apprehensive and at the same time there may be a deep knowing inside you that wants life to be different for yourself.  

​

Taking a step towards giving yourself time to explore yourself and how life is for you with another person is a precious gift.  It's a chance to be seen and heard without judgement, a chance to get to know the person that you are really are, a chance to expand and gain fresh perspectives.
