If you’ve never seen a counsellor before, attending your first session might feel daunting or awkward, and that’s perfectly normal. Here’s what you can expect.
Feeling anxious or depressed yet apprehensive about starting counselling is understandable. Stepping into something new can raise fears, but don’t let them deter you from speaking with a counsellor.
Our goal is to make you comfortable from the start. Sharing your story with a stranger can be overwhelming, but rest assured that we create a safe, professional, and respectful environment.
Your privacy and confidentiality are important to us. If you’re unsure about how it works, just ask. At The Melbourne Counselling Centre, we explain confidentiality before your first session.
It’s helpful to know that every counsellor is different, with various therapeutic approaches. It’s okay to ask questions about their methods and what to expect. The relationship between you and your therapist is crucial for your success, so feeling seen and heard is essential.
During your first session, you’ll get to know each other. Whether diving into core issues or proceeding more gently depends on your comfort. You don’t have to share your entire story; it’s always your choice. By the end of the session, you should feel understood and have a sense of where the counselling process is headed.
The counselling process is fluid, with a focus on your goals and facilitating growth to relieve and resolve your struggles.

At Melbourne Counselling Centre, we work with adolescents, individuals, couples, and families, offering a comprehensive and integrative approach to counselling and psychological wellbeing. We recognise that emotional distress often exists within broader relational, developmental, and family contexts, and our work reflects this understanding to support meaningful and sustainable change.
Beyond the counselling room, our therapists are actively involved in community-based initiatives that promote personal growth, emotional awareness, and self-agency. Through workshops and psychoeducational programs, we support individuals to develop practical skills, deepen insight, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. Our clinicians are committed to ongoing professional development and regularly update their knowledge to ensure all therapeutic interventions are informed by current, evidence-based practice.
At Melbourne Counselling Centre, therapy is tailored to the individual rather than delivered through a one-size-fits-all model. Our trauma-informed approach prioritises emotional safety, collaboration, and pacing, allowing clients to engage in the therapeutic process in a way that feels respectful and manageable. This approach supports clients to build emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term coping strategies.
Our work with adolescents, individuals, couples, and families allows us to address complex dynamics at both individual and systemic levels. By understanding each person within their relational and family environment, we are able to tailor therapy to the unique needs of each client. This comprehensive approach often leads to more efficient, effective, and enduring therapeutic outcomes, supporting healthier relationships and improved overall wellbeing.
