That is completely okay.

Many people begin counselling without a clear starting point. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly organised explanation of what has been happening, and you do not need to know exactly what you want to say.

Sometimes people come with a specific concern. At other times, they simply know that something feels difficult, overwhelming, confusing, or different from how they want things to be.

Part of counselling can be working together to make sense of what you are feeling and what may be contributing to it. You can begin wherever feels most manageable, even if that is simply saying, “I’m not sure where to begin.”

You do not need to have everything figured out before seeking support.
