How Therapy Works For You

  • Going through counselling can be a challenging and emotional journey, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. It’s a collaborative effort between you and your counsellor as you work together to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Whether you prefer one-on-one sessions or group counselling, the goal is always to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your objectives. The duration of counselling can vary depending on your individual needs, but rest assured that your counsellor will work with you every step of the way. Remember, seeking counselling is a brave and positive step towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.
  • Counselling offers a confidential space to talk about your concerns and work towards making a meaningful change. It can be helpful for many issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, trauma, transitions, and personal growth.
  • A safe and confidential space: Counselling provides a safe and confidential environment where you can discuss any concerns without fear, judgment, or repercussions.
  • A collaborative relationship: You and your counsellor will work collaboratively to identify the root cause of your concerns, set goals for your therapy, and develop and achieve those goals.
  • An individualized approach: Your counsellor will tailor your therapy to your specific needs and concerns.
  • Active participation: During your therapy sessions, it is vital for you to participate actively, and your counsellor will encourage you to do so. It may take time to see the benefits of counselling since most of the work happens outside of sessions by applying the strategies and techniques learned to your everyday life.
  • Evidence-based practices: Your counsellor will use evidence-based methods to help you overcome various mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues.
  • New insights and skills: Participating in counselling can be a valuable tool in understanding your emotions and behaviour. It can also provide new coping mechanisms to help manage your emotions and improve your mental health. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.
  • Challenges and discomfort: Seeking counselling can be a challenging and uncomfortable experience, as it involves confronting difficult emotions and exploring past experiences. However, your counsellor will provide support and guidance to help you navigate any challenges that may arise.
  • Starting therapy can be a complex and emotional process, which is why taking care of yourself is crucial. Keep in mind that things may get worse before they improve.

With a skilled counsellor’s guidance and dedication, you can achieve your goals and live a happier and healthier life. Counselling can be a long process, and seeing the positive changes you hope for may take time. It is important to remember to be kind to yourself and trust that we are here to support you every step of the way.

  • Choosing an experienced, qualified counsellor with whom you can feel at ease is vital in achieving your goals.
    • You feel comfortable and at ease with your counsellor.
    • Your counsellor listens actively and empathically to your concerns.
    • Your counsellor respects your values, beliefs, and opinions.
    • You feel understood, validated, and supported by your counsellor.
    • Your counsellor collaborates with you to set goals for your counselling sessions.
    • Your counsellor provides you with helpful feedback, guidance, and strategies. They will not tell you what you should do but will collaborate with you to identify and implement the best course of action.
    • You feel motivated and encouraged to continue working towards your goals.
