She won't think that, on the first appointment(this is from my experience, my old CPN said to me she wanted me to tell her how my life has been and how it is now, and not off papers about me, but I don't know if yours will be the same) she will most likely assess you, your moods, your family life, home life, any traumas that have happened, your experiences with other professionals, how your thinking is, your eating patterns, what your sleeping is like, she may ask you if you've felt suicidal before/attempted suicide/if you feel suicidal at this moment in time, she will likely to ask you about your self harm, and how you are doing with it, last time you cut, etc, how you are doing with urges - she's basically going to try and get a picture of how life has been for you and how it is for you right now, and what she can provide for you in terms of support.
(Sorry that's so long!)
But basically, she's not going to think you're wasting her time just because in the past month you've felt better, she's going to be looking at how your life has been & how it is in the present.
Just because you've been feeling better doesn't mean you'd be wasting her time at all.
You're still struggling - you may still need support with that.
If you truly feel you don't need help, then you could tell her that & maybe talk to her about why you feel that way?
