Session

Intro

Terms and condition

Provacy and confiedenttyt

Rights

Ideas what counsellor does?

What are their expectation.

Ask why they came today?

Has this happened before?

Have you had a similar situation before not beong included?

Some suggestions to diversify Lisa's interests like use of social media

Do I as a client need to refer her to a treatment professional, or therapy? Or Headspace? Likely not in the fiest session, but ultimately yoyu can refer. If increasingly distressed.

We do introductions sessions

Then we may refere to Headspace or similar places

NIC: When she went to first session she was told to go straight to Headspace.

K: In real world it can happen, but for this excercise we will do three sessions

2:08:50

www.headspace.org.au is the national page
Age 12 - 25

We can refere "Lisa" to headspace eventually...

2:11:05

K: Learn to swim in your own line but be open to work with people in other lanes – refer where possible.
