What to Expect From Your First Psychotherapy Session in London
Most people arrive at a first psychotherapy session carrying two things: some version of what they want help with, and a private anxiety about what is going to happen in the room.
The anxiety is worth addressing directly. A first session is not the moment where a therapist studies you carefully and begins explaining you to yourself. It is not a performance you need to pass. It is a conversation — and a specific kind of conversation, with a specific purpose on both sides.
