Counselling appointment

@AuntGlow A counsellor and a psychologist are two different things, no?

Yes, defo. @Blackcloud

yayyy!!! so glad to hear the first session went well @Blackcloud sounds like her style of counselling fits you much better. how often do you reckon you'll see her?

@rav3n I plan to see her once a month 🙂

@rav3n @By the way, I’m also about to start my placement at lifeline next Tuesday! 🙂 kinda nervous but I hope I do well with interacting with crisis supporters on the webchat hehe :3

nice! @Blackcloud woah, it's only a week away already!? time flies!! i wish you the very best with your placement, got my fingers crossed that it goes well 💙

@rav3n next tuesday was the earliest one that they've got so i wanted to do it next week instead of waiting for like a few weeks time to get into it, otherwise it'll drive my anxiety and stuff like crazy if i waited haha 😛

haha yep, the waiting can be hard hey! @Blackcloud are these placements more 'observational' where you watch how other crisis supporters work?

@rav3n it's online, and no, its more like you have to use your crisis supporting skills to actually interact with clients real-time through the webchat, as well chatting with your supervisor throughout your shift too. we don't get to see how other crisis supporters work, but yeah.

@Blackcloud ohh so you're already jumping into interacting with the clients! good to know that there's also a supervisor you can reach out too throughout the chat.
