When attending a counselling session with Centaur Counselling (or any counselling service), here are some things you might want to bring:

1. Notebook or Journal

  • It can be helpful to jot down thoughts, feelings, or insights during or after the session. This is also useful for keeping track of any recommendations or exercises given by the counsellor.

2. Pen or Writing Instrument

  • If you're bringing a notebook, you'll want something to write with. It’s also useful if there are forms to fill out.



3. List of Concerns or Questions

  • Before the session, it can be useful to write down the main issues you want to discuss or any questions you have about the counselling process. This helps make sure you don’t forget anything important during the session.

4. Relevant Medical or Personal Information

  • If you’re comfortable, bring any relevant information regarding your medical history or current treatment (if applicable), including medications, mental health diagnoses, or past counselling experiences that may be relevant to your case.

5. Identification and Payment Method

  • You may need an ID for administrative purposes or insurance, and you’ll want to ensure you have a way to pay for the session unless it’s covered by insurance or another arrangement.

6. Comfortable Clothing

  • Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Counselling sessions can involve discussing emotional topics, so feeling physically at ease is important.

7. Water Bottle or Snacks

  • Depending on the length of the session, you might want to bring a bottle of water or a light snack, especially if you think you might feel drained afterward.

8. Insurance Information (if applicable)

  • If you're using insurance for the session, bring any necessary documentation.


Being prepared for the session can help you get the most out of the experience. You’ll also want to bring an open mind and a willingness to explore sensitive topics.
