What is Counsellors Meet?
Counsellors Meet
A Counsellor Meeting is a confidential and supportive conversation designed to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, concerns, and behaviors in a safe, nonjudgmental space. These sessions typically last between 20 minutes and one hour.
Rather than focusing on solving a specific issue, the initial meeting is intended to:
- Gather relevant information about the client’s current situation
- Identify presenting needs or concerns
- Determine which counselling services or supports may be the most appropriate
