First session
Your first therapy session can begin slowly.
There is space to arrive, breathe, speak at your own pace and begin with what feels possible.
Before Your First Therapy Session, a gentle one page guide from Terapija.care.
What happens first
The first session is a space to begin understanding what brings you to therapy.
You can share what feels present, what has been difficult, what you hope therapy may support, or what feels unclear.
There may also be time for practical points such as confidentiality, session format, frequency, payment, cancellation policy and any access needs.
You can start anywhere
A recent event, an old pattern, a body feeling, a relationship, or a sentence that feels important.
You can pause
Therapy allows space for silence, emotion, uncertainty and finding words slowly.
You can ask questions
You can ask about the process, confidentiality, online work, in person sessions or practical arrangements.
You can name your pace
Some people speak easily. Some people need time. The pace is held with care.
Useful phrases
Words you can use if you feel unsure.
Arrange a first session
Begin with a practical message.
Share whether you prefer online or in person, together with a few times that may work for you.
