It is completely normal to feel anxious ahead of your first therapy session, especially if you are not accustomed to talking about your feelings. Your counsellor will be there to facilitate conversation and walk you through the process – while they may feel like a stranger at first, it does not take long for our clients to feel truly connected to their counsellor. It is important to try and open up, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. It does get much easier as the sessions go on.
