Why Counselling and What’s the Benefits?

Counselling is a form of therpeutic support that can make all the difference in your life.  

Are you feeing anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, tired, fed-up, desperate, fatigued, sad, confused, angry, or feel just like giving up? Maybe you need support to make some difficult life altering decisions.  Counselling is a great opportunity for you to consider as a way to help you make sense of your world and to help guide your  process. Whatever you reasons for counselling it is worthwhile to remember that the therapeutic relationship is pertinent to a healthier you.

Counselling is also a great way to enhance your life and your current choices and circumstances.  Maybe there is something you need guidance or clarification about.  Counselling is a great form of self-care and it allows for you to break free from the self-imposed prison walls that hold you hostage to self.

Counselling and the therapeutic relationship help to provide a safe and confidential environment for clients to express their feelings and emotions.  I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment is essential in the development of a positive therapeutic relationship.  A counsellor will never share what the client discloses within their counselling sessions. The client’s confidence is held within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. The client should always have the opportunity to feel safe to express any feelings and emotions that may be causing stress or angst in their life.

It’s the counsellor’s responsibility to listen to their clients, and to help encourage them to seek a solution to their concerns, challenges and problems. Counsellors do not judge and are impartial to any issues, and simply reflect a clients worries or concerns so that they are able to see their problems from another perspective.  If you struggle with the following counselling may be something for you to consider.

• do you have difficulties expressing feelings and emotions
• do you find it difficult identifying issues
• are you struggling with moving forward with your life
• do you have limiting beliefs
• do you experience anxiety, depression or other mental health issues
• do you have an addiction 
• are you experiencing major life changes
•  are you struggling with grief and loss
• do you have no one you can confide in
