In the wake of a seasonal surge in new client intake requests in the past week or so, I’m fielding a lot of questions from individuals and couples who have never done psychotherapy before and have no idea what to expect from counselling.

There are some good resources on the web discussing expectations, good questions to ask before you book the initial consultation or intake session, but this article has long been one of my go-to resources for people wondering what to expect from marriage counselling in particular. I’m not normally a big fan of LifeHacker articles, but once in a while they get it right (or their guest bloggers do).
