usually with any first meeting with a counselor it would me more about introductions and they'll just ask you some questions to get to know you a bit first to make you feel more comfortable before they start talking to you about more serious issues.
When i was getting councelling i saw 12 different people and each one on the first appoinment woud let you know a little bit about them and there work history.
there is nothing to be worried about. yeah it is normal to be a bit nervious before any meeting like that. but just remember they are there to help you.
they will probly be a few silent pauses that tend to get a little uncomfortable. they are just to give you time to think and seporate your thoughts as you would probaly have a lot of things whiring around up there.
if you say 'I don't know' quite a lot through one session some cancelours tend to see that as a bariour you putting up. as if your trying to hide something.
that's all i can think of right now. but if you need any advice or have any questions feel free to pm me. not only have i been through it i have also studyed mental health. i hope this helps you out.
just remember there is nothing to be worried about. the more you open up (i know it's hard to) but the more they have an insight as to what is going on and are able to help. Good luck.xoxo
