What to Expect in Your First Session
During your first therapy session with Rebecca Alvey Counselling, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll focus on getting to know each other. Here’s what typically happens:
Introduction & Rapport Building: I’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable and open up.
Discussion of Your Concerns: You’ll share what brought you to therapy, whether it’s specific challenges, emotions, or goals you want to work on.
Assessment: I may ask questions to understand your history, background, and current struggles. This helps me get a clearer picture of your situation and how best to support you.
Setting Goals: Together, we’ll discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy and begin to set some goals.
Explaining the Process: I’ll outline what therapy might look like moving forward, the approach I use, and how we can work together to reach your goals.
By the end of the session, you should have a clearer understanding of the process and feel more at ease about moving forward. It’s all about building trust and setting the foundation for your therapeutic journey.
Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment
At Rebecca Alvey Counselling, creating a safe and supportive environment is essential for effective therapy. Here’s how I do that:
Confidentiality: Everything shared in our sessions is private, ensuring you can speak freely without fear of judgment or disclosure unless you mention harm to yourself, harm to others, harm to children or anything to do with terrorism, money laundering or drug trafficing.
Non-Judgmental Attitude: I listen with empathy and without judgment, creating a space where you feel heard and respected.
Respect for Your Pace: We go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You control the depth and speed of our conversations.
Active Listening: I focus fully on what you’re saying, validating your feelings, and showing that your experiences are important.
Building Trust: Through consistency, transparency, and being reliable, I work to establish a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe to open up.
Empathy and Support: I aim to understand your perspective and offer encouragement, while also providing practical tools to help you through challenges.
This approach helps foster a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely and begin to make meaningful progress.
