What To Expect
If you're听thinking听about meeting with a mental health professional for the first time, it can help to know what to expect.听
When scheduling a meeting with a counsellor, you may indicate if you have a preference with:
- Language (English/French)
- Gender
- Specialized knowledge or background in Indigenous or 2S&LGBTQ+ experiences.*
*Please understand that the availability of specialized counsellors with unique expertise and/or lived experience may fluctuate depending on availability, recruitment, and other factors. We will do our best to accommodate your request, and if we cannot, we will help identify resources in the community that you may find helpful.
You can access support and additional resources from a BI&POC counsellor through our partners at Keep.meSAFE. Simply request to meet with a BI&POC counsellor when speaking with the intake clinician.

Your first session
At your first session,听you'll听be matched with听a counsellor who听will work with you to better understand the challenges that you're facing.听
Together听you'll听develop a鈥� personalized听goal-directed听wellness plan 鈥痓est suited to your needs. It might include:听
- One-on-one counselling听(either at the Hub or in the community)听
- Group therapy听
- Peer support听
- Referral to a听medical professional (nurse, physician, etc.).听
- Another form of support听
This clinician will be the point of contact for follow-ups around your wellness plan.听
What might my clinician expect of me?
It's up to you to determine what you want out of a session, but your clinician will expect you to be an honest, active participant,听that is open to making changes.听
You'll be expected to work with your clinician to establish goals, put together a wellness plan and be ready to discuss it and re-evaluate it as needed.听
You should also be ready 鈥痶o talk to your clinician if you have any questions about their treatment approach, or if you feel it's not working.鈥�
How might I feel after?
Your clinician will be supportive and interested, but you should also be prepared for them to challenge you.听
It's normal to leave a session feeling better, but you might also feel tired, upset or like you're not progressing as quickly as you'd hoped.听Change can be tough, but it's usually positive in the long term. Please talk to your clinician if you have any concerns or questions.听
How many sessions might I have?
Most students find听that听they get what they need from speaking to a Counsellor after a few appointments.听If听you're experiencing听another tough time听in听the future,听you听can get听in contact with听your听Counsellor听and听meet听to听make a new Wellness plan.听
Since McGill offers brief听support,听your clinician can refer you to resources in the community if you鈥� require or prefer longer-term support.听
