What happens in counselling therapy?
Counselling involves the development of a professional therapeutic relationship between a qualified counselling therapist and YOU, the client.
It enables YOU, the client to be able to get an unbiased, non-judgmental perspective of your situation. It is to enable you to transition through a challenging or stressful life event.
Many people think seeing a Therapist is an admission that something is terribly wrong with them; that it is a form of weakness. This is an unfortunate misconception.
Seeking support for one's self or wanting to fully participate in one's personal development, is a positive affirmation of life, a creative undertaking that requires courage and curiosity.
Your Therapist will assess your situation and concerns to assist you to take control of yourself and your unique situation through learning how to apply a range of effective psychotherapeutic techniques and interventions, to facilitate a constructive and positive change and outcome according to your individual needs.
Counselling therapy sessions will focus on your concerns and empower you to work to resolve them, often providing you with insights, strategies and mechanics of change and increased coping capacity.
Your therapist will provide you with a safe and supportive environment. It is important that YOU, as the client feel comfortable with your counsellor this should be able to be determined within the first session.
