What is Counselling?
Counselling is an arrangement by which a counsellor meets with you, in privacy and confidence, to explore distress that you may be experiencing. This may be a particular difficulty; general dissatisfaction with life; or loss of a sense of direction or purpose. As you and the counsellor start to meet on a regular basis, a therapeutic relationship develops giving you an opportunity to be listened to objectively and genuinely heard.
Through this process you can increase self awareness. Past experience can be a factor in influencing current behaviour and as you explore issues with your counsellor, patterns of feelings, thoughts and behaviours can be considered. Counselling helps you make decisions but the counsellor will not tell you what to do. |
