Seeing a counsellor just once can help with CHANGE. That is because you have CONTEMPLATED and PREPARED. You have put your thoughts and feelings into physical action and initiated a counselling session. A good counsellor sees that you have already done the first two stages of change. Then, processes such as looking at old or new perspectives; making decisions to accept and understand; and learning how to ‘connect YOUR dots’ can happen at that first meeting. In just an hour, you can feel enabled to manage change.
