“Most of us want somebody to talk to, who listens and accepts us, especially when we are going through a bad time. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a stranger than to relatives or friends. Therapists are trained to listen attentively and to help you find your own answers, without judging you”. (1).
How may counselling help?
Counseling may help you if you are open with your counsellor, feel accepted and supported by them, and when mutual trust and respect exists between you both. Through careful listening and thinking, your counsellor will help you identify and understand how you think about yourself and others, and it's impact on your life. It can be hard and painful work. How much you can cope with may increase overtime. It may lead to increased self awareness, relief from symptoms, a reframing of problems, change, and personal growth.
"Counselling helps you to look at problems you are facing now. It may focus on a specific problem like bereavement or post-natal depression or on a decision, crisis or conflict. You are encouraged to talk about the feelings you have about yourself and your situation, and the counsellor helps you find ways to tackle them". (1).
