🪑 Walking into a counselling session for the first time can feel a little overwhelming — but here’s something important to know: you have rights.
• You have the right to feel safe, respected, and heard without judgment.
• You have the right to ask questions, to understand the process, and to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
• You have the right to know what’s being shared, why it’s being shared, and to trust that most of what you say will stay private.
(There are a few legal exceptions, but your counsellor should explain those upfront.)
• You also have the right to take a break, pause sessions, or stop altogether — therapy moves at your pace.
This is your space. Your story. Your healing.
And it begins with knowing your rights ✔️
