It would be helpful to set some time aside to think of the goals you hope to achieve from psychotherapy. It's also okay if these goals are not clear to you yet - that can be something you can work on with your psychologist. Everyone's reasons are personal. Coming in with at least an idea on what you want to work on will help both you and your psychologist to make your sessions more productive.

Going to your first session may feel scary or exciting to some people. Either way, it is important to take steps to mentally prepare yourself to discuss your difficulties with your psychologist. We advise you to arrive early or punctually for your session, to prepare yourself, and make the best use of your appointment.
