Support Worker:

"Hello, Layla. I'm glad you could make it today. How are you doing?"

Layla:

"Hi, thank you for meeting with me. I'm doing okay, I guess."

Support Worker:

"That's good to hear. I want to ensure we're creating a supportive and understanding environment for you. Is there anything specific you'd like to talk about today?"

Layla:

"Well, I've been struggling with sleep. I relapsed into taking sleeping tablets, and I'm worried about it."

Support Worker:

"Thank you for sharing that with me. It's important we tackle this together. Can you tell me more about how taking the tablets affects your daily life?"

Layla:

"Sometimes I don't wake up when my daughter cries. It scares me, but the tablets help my anxiety. I feel like I can't manage without them."

Support Worker:

"That must be difficult. It's a positive step that you're seeking help. How does this situation make you feel about change?"

Layla:

"I'm beginning to consider change. My children are my motivation, and I want to be there for them."

Support Worker:

"That's a wonderful motivation. It seems like you're in the contemplation stage of change. Let's work together to explore ways we can support you in moving forward. What goals would you like to set?"

Layla:

"I want to stop relying on pills to sleep, get better at English, and have a stronger community around me. I also want to use my skills in cooking or art for work. And definitely seek support for the abusive relationship."

Support Worker:

"Those are excellent goals, Layla. You're taking strong steps towards an improved future. Have you considered any actions towards these goals?"

Layla:

"Yes, I've started taking English classes with my sister and halved my pill intake. But I'm not sure where to start with the others."

Support Worker:

"You're already making progress! Let's build on this. How about we set some small, achievable steps for each goal? Maybe joining a community group for support and exploring job opportunities related to your interests could be a start."

Layla:

"That sounds good. I'd like to try."

Support Worker:

"I'll assist you in finding resources, like counselling services for anxiety and community support groups. We can also set up a plan to gradually reduce your dependence on the sleeping tablets safely. Does that work for you?"

Layla:

"Yes, thank you. I appreciate your help."

Support Worker:

"You're welcome, Layla. Remember, this is a journey, and you're not alone. We'll do this step by step. Before we finish, is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"

Layla:

"Just that I'd like my client number to be used for documentation to remain anonymous."

Support Worker:

"Absolutely, your confidentiality is crucial. We'll adhere to that request. Thank you for opening up today, Layla. Looking forward to our next session."

Layla:

"Thank you, see you next time."
