To begin a counselling journey is an act of courage and strength. Reaching out and opening up to someone you don't know can be confronting. It is a common experience for clients to begin their first session feeling tense and emotional. However, due to the gentle, therapeutic nature of counselling, they usually leave the session with a smile on their face and a tangible sense of hope.

Overall, the desired outcome of engaging in counselling is to experience less emotional pain and improved happiness and fulfillment in everyday life.
